This is an Intergovernmental and Cooperative Purchasing Clause document applicable to the Washington Suburban Sanitary Commission (WSSC) in Maryland for the Residuals Hauling and Management contract at the Patuxent and Potomac Water Filtration Plants. The contract solicitation seeks sealed responses for residuals hauling, transportation, management, utilization, storage, beneficial reuse, and disposal services for solids generated at WSSC Water's two filtration plants. The residuals originate exclusively from drinking water treatment processes and do not include wastewater treatment solids. Responses must be submitted via WSSC's eProcurement Portal at https://procurement.opengov.com/portal/wsscwater no later than 2:00 p.m. on Monday, July 13, 2026, with late submissions not accepted. The contractor is responsible for furnishing all labor, supervision, equipment, vehicles, materials, permits, licenses, management sites, transportation, and incidentals necessary to complete the work according to contract specifications.

The intergovernmental purchasing clause enables multiple governmental entities and cooperative members to access and utilize the terms and conditions of this contract agreement. This provision allows other public agencies beyond the primary soliciting entity to leverage the negotiated contract terms for their own procurement needs, thereby promoting cost efficiencies and standardized contracting practices across participating jurisdictions within the Mid-Atlantic region.
