Mid-Atlantic_Purchasing_Team_Intergovernmental_&_Cooperative_Purchasing_Clause.pdf

This is an Intergovernmental and Cooperative Purchasing Clause document applicable to the Mid-Atlantic Purchasing Team and the Washington Suburban Sanitary Commission (WSSC) in Maryland. The document establishes the framework for WSSC's solicitation of sealed responses for Infoblox Appliance Subscriptions and Hardware Maintenance, with responses to be submitted through WSSC's eProcurement Portal at https://procurement.opengov.com/portal/wsscwater no later than 2:00 pm on Tuesday, July 14, 2026. The project encompasses the renewal of WSSC's existing Infoblox Appliance Subscription and Hardware Maintenance services. Late responses will not be accepted under the terms of this procurement.

The clause authorizes cooperative purchasing arrangements, allowing eligible entities within the Mid-Atlantic region to leverage WSSC's procurement process and potentially utilize any resulting contract awards. This mechanism enables other state and local government jurisdictions to benefit from negotiated pricing and established vendor relationships without conducting separate competitive procurements. The document supports intergovernmental collaboration and procurement efficiency while maintaining compliance with applicable purchasing regulations and contract administration requirements.
