Mid-Atlantic_Purchasing_Team_Intergovernmental_&_Cooperative_Purchasing_Clause.pdf

This is an Intergovernmental and Cooperative Purchasing Clause document applicable to the Washington Suburban Sanitary Commission (WSSC) in Maryland for the Beaufort Place Water Main Replacement project. The project involves the installation of approximately 802 feet of 4-inch water main, 6,461 feet of 8-inch water main, 2,476 feet of 10-inch water main, 42 feet of 12-inch water main, 3,358 feet of 20-inch water main, and 6,541 feet of water house connections to serve Beaufort Place and various streets in Montgomery County, Maryland. Sealed responses must be submitted via WSSC's eProcurement Portal at https://procurement.opengov.com/portal/wsscwater prior to 2:00 pm on Wednesday, April 1, 2026, with late submissions not accepted.

The clause document establishes the framework permitting intergovernmental and cooperative purchasing participation, allowing other government entities to leverage this procurement opportunity under the same terms and conditions extended to the primary contractor. This mechanism enables additional jurisdictions and public entities to benefit from competitively bid pricing and established contract terms without conducting separate procurement processes, thereby promoting efficiency and cost savings across multiple governmental organizations in the Mid-Atlantic region.
