Mid-Atlantic_Purchasing_Team_Intergovernmental_&_Cooperative_Purchasing_Clause.pdf

This document is an Intergovernmental & Cooperative Purchasing Clause applicable to the Mid-Atlantic Purchasing Team and the Washington Suburban Sanitary Commission (WSSC), Maryland. The WSSC is soliciting sealed responses for a Geographic Information System (GIS) & Engineering Records Document Management Support Basic Ordering Agreement. The consulting firm contracted under this BOA will serve as a technical subject matter expert supporting multiple task orders issued by WSSC. Potential task order deliverables include assistance with migration to industry-standard GIS data models to integrate facilities with water distribution and sewer collection networks, implementation of best practices for water/sewer GIS and Enterprise Content Management (ECM) solutions including ESRI utility data models, development of HTML5/JavaScript-based configurable applications for field and desktop editing, technical support for software upgrades and version migrations, and workflow development for document handling in FileNET and e-Builder systems. Responses must be submitted via WSSC's eProcurement Portal at https://procurement.opengov.com/portal/wsscwater prior to 2:00 pm on Friday, May 29, 2026, with late responses not accepted.

The clause establishes cooperative purchasing terms allowing the Mid-Atlantic Purchasing Team member agencies to leverage this BOA for their own GIS and engineering records management needs. This approach enables multiple jurisdictions within the Mid-Atlantic region to utilize the contracted consulting services without conducting separate competitive procurements, thereby reducing administrative burden and ensuring consistent service delivery across participating agencies. The agreement structure as a Basic Ordering Agreement allows WSSC and authorized partners to issue task orders on an as-needed basis for specific project work, with pricing and terms established in the underlying BOA.
