Mid-Atlantic_Purchasing_Team_Intergovernmental_&_Cooperative_Purchasing_Clause.pdf

This document is an Intergovernmental and Cooperative Purchasing Clause from the Mid-Atlantic Purchasing Team applicable to the Washington Suburban Sanitary Commission (WSSC) in Maryland. The clause establishes the framework for on-call cleaning and restoration services to be provided on an emergency basis to public buildings and private residences damaged by water main breaks, sewer backups, or other WSSC-caused incidents located within Montgomery and Prince George's Counties, Maryland. WSSC seeks to establish a multi-award, on-call, requirements-based contract for 24/7/365 emergency cleaning, disinfection, drying, and limited restoration services. Sealed responses must be submitted via WSSC's eProcurement Portal at https://procurement.opengov.com/portal/wsscwater prior to 2:00 p.m. on Friday, July 24, 2026, with late responses not accepted. The contractor must be capable of responding quickly and performing work in compliance with industry standards, safety regulations, and environmental requirements.

The clause permits intergovernmental and cooperative purchasing arrangements, allowing other eligible entities to utilize contracts established through this procurement process. The on-call contract structure allows WSSC to call upon qualified contractors on an as-needed basis for emergency response services. Contractors must provide all labor, materials, equipment, and services necessary to complete professional cleaning, restoration, and structural repair work. The document does not specify pricing terms, set-asides, award dates, or contract renewal options in the excerpt provided, but establishes the legal basis for cooperative purchasing among government entities within the region.
