Mid-Atlantic_Purchasing_Team_Intergovernmental_&_Cooperative_Purchasing_Clause.pdf

This is an Intergovernmental & Cooperative Purchasing Clause document applicable to the Mid-Atlantic Purchasing Team and related to the Washington Suburban Sanitary Commission (WSSC Water) in Maryland. The document establishes the contractual framework and terms governing cooperative purchasing arrangements for the 102-Inch Anacostia Trunk Sewer Rehabilitation Phase 2 Progressive Design-Build project located in Lower Anacostia, Prince George's County, Maryland. WSSC Water is soliciting sealed responses from qualified respondents, including firms, design-builders, or Progressive Design-Build teams, to provide design and construction services for the rehabilitation of the trunk sewer system. Responses must be submitted via WSSC's eProcurement Portal at https://procurement.opengov.com/portal/wsscwater no later than 2:00 pm on Tuesday, June 23, 2026, with late submissions not accepted.

The clause outlines the terms under which other governmental entities and cooperative purchasing organizations may utilize contracts awarded through this solicitation. This intergovernmental and cooperative purchasing agreement allows authorized public agencies and eligible entities to access the negotiated terms and conditions established through the primary contract award. The document specifies the rights and obligations of participating entities, pricing structures, and any applicable fees or surcharges associated with leveraging the contract for their own procurement needs. This arrangement enables multiple jurisdictions and public entities to benefit from the competitive bidding process and negotiated pricing without conducting separate procurements for similar design-build services.
