Proposer(s) will also implement an Economic Opportunity Plan (“EOP”) as specified in Attachment F in its selection and use of diverse subcontractors and hiring of workers that ensure the employment of an appropriately diverse workforce.

Under this solicitation, it is expected that up to two Proposers will be selected to perform all of the work for the Procurement Team.

All Proposers must submit a non-binding Letter of Intent (LOI) by November 30, 2023. Proposals must be received no later than 5 P.M. ET on February 9, 2024. Proposals should be delivered electronically, emailed to gesa@phila.gov and be no larger than 10MB to ensure delivery.
