Mid-Atlantic_Purchasing_Team_Intergovernmental_&_Cooperative_Purchasing_Clause.pdf

This is an Intergovernmental and Cooperative Purchasing Clause document prepared by the Mid-Atlantic Purchasing Team for use in conjunction with the Washington Suburban Sanitary Commission (WSSC Water) Request for Qualification for Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) Materials in Maryland. WSSC Water is soliciting materials submittals for meters, transmitters, lids, and other metering components to support future-state AMI reading environments. The RFQ does not include add-on sensors for evaluation at this time. Responses are being accepted on a rolling basis through WSSC Water's eProcurement Portal at https://procurement.opengov.com/portal/wsscwater, with a deadline of 2:00 pm on Friday, December 11, 2026; late responses will not be accepted. Materials will be evaluated against checklists provided in the RFQ documents, and vendors will be notified of evaluation results on a rolling basis with the approved materials list posted publicly on the WSSC Water website at wsscwater.com/AMI-Materials-RFQu with periodic updates.

This document establishes the terms under which intergovernmental and cooperative purchasing entities may leverage the WSSC Water AMI Materials RFQ. The purchasing clause allows eligible government entities and their authorized vendors to access approved materials identified through this qualification process. No compatibility testing of meters and transmitters or software components will be conducted as part of this RFQ. The clause facilitates access to pre-qualified suppliers and products, enabling participating jurisdictions and agencies to procure AMI materials without conducting separate qualification evaluations.
