Mid-Atlantic_Purchasing_Team_Intergovernmental_&_Cooperative_Purchasing_Clause.pdf

This document is an Intergovernmental & Cooperative Purchasing Clause from the Mid-Atlantic Purchasing Team applicable to the Washington Suburban Sanitary Commission (WSSC) in Maryland. The clause establishes the terms under which WSSC seeks sealed responses for the fabrication of industrial control panels and pump control panels (PCP) through its eProcurement Portal at https://procurement.opengov.com/portal/wsscwater. Responses are due prior to 2:00 pm on Thursday, July 16, 2026, with late submissions not accepted. WSSC intends to establish a contract for fabricating standardized pump control panels based on approved WSSC designs, specifically configurations utilizing two or three constant-speed pumps for wastewater pumping stations. The project scope includes fabrication of these standardized panels along with any additional local control panels required by WSSC to ensure consistent equipment configuration across facilities and enhance operational reliability.

The contract aims to reduce spare parts inventory, streamline maintenance activities, and simplify operator training through uniform design and functionality across WSSC facilities. The intergovernmental purchasing clause enables cooperative purchasing arrangements and establishes the framework for vendor participation and contract administration. Additional details regarding pricing terms, contract duration, renewal options, and specific funding sources are not detailed in this clause document, which primarily serves to establish the cooperative purchasing authority and procedural framework for the solicitation and contract award process.
