About this file
This material specification document outlines the requirements for polyethylene meter housings to be furnished and delivered by the Washington Suburban Sanitary Commission (WSSC) in Maryland. The WSSC is soliciting sealed responses for the supply and delivery of polyethylene meter housings designed to protect water meters, meter setters, and associated service line components within the water distribution system. The solicitation encompasses four distinct housing specifications: 24-inch diameter by 30-inch height (20-inch frame compatible), 30-inch diameter by 30-inch height, 36-inch diameter by 36-inch height, and 22-inch diameter by 30-inch height (18-inch frame compatible). Responses must be submitted via the WSSC eProcurement Portal at https://procurement.opengov.com/portal/wsscwater prior to 2:00 pm on Tuesday, September 1, 2026, with late responses not accepted.
All meter housings must be manufactured from high-density polyethylene with specifications including two notches at the bottom designed to accommodate up to 2-inch copper pipe, white interior coloring, an integral molded bottom lip to resist settling, and chemical stabilization for ultraviolet protection. Each housing must be designed, manufactured, and tested to withstand AASHTO H20 loading and delivered in undamaged, ready-to-use condition. The approved manufacturers for all four housing sizes are Bingham and Taylor and Sigma (Raven), with specific model numbers designated for each size specification. The approval of these manufacturers remains conditional upon their continued ability to meet all specification requirements in full.
