Mid-Atlantic_Purchasing_Team_Intergovernmental_&_Cooperative_Purchasing_Clause.pdf

This is an Intergovernmental & Cooperative Purchasing Clause document from the Mid-Atlantic Purchasing Team applicable to the Washington Suburban Sanitary Commission (WSSC) in Maryland. The document establishes terms and conditions governing cooperative purchasing arrangements and intergovernmental procurement practices for state and local contract opportunities, including the Potomac WFP Water Quality/PFAS Pilot Project. The WSSC is soliciting sealed responses for progressive design-build services encompassing the design, construction, and operation of a PFAS pilot plant at the Potomac Water Filtration Plant. Responses must be submitted via WSSC's eProcurement Portal at https://procurement.opengov.com/portal/wsscwater prior to 2:00 pm on Thursday, August 20, 2026, with late responses not accepted.

The cooperative purchasing clause governs the contractual framework and establishes eligible participants and procurement procedures for entities utilizing the Mid-Atlantic Purchasing Team's cooperative agreements. The document addresses the rights and responsibilities of participating jurisdictions and vendors in cooperative purchasing arrangements, including pricing structures, contract administration, and compliance requirements. No specific pricing information, set-asides, incumbent contractor details, funding amounts, or renewal options are detailed within the clause document itself; these terms would be specified in the individual solicitation documents and resulting contract award for the Potomac WFP Water Quality/PFAS Pilot Project.
