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 Water) in Maryland. WSSC Water is soliciting sealed responses for Business Case Development services through Multiple Award Basic Ordering Agreements (BOAs) with qualified consulting firms to provide on-call professional services. The services will include developing Business Case Evaluations (BCEs) covering architecture and engineering, facilities and real property management, capital improvement program controls, software evaluation services, non-asset solutions, public and community outreach, mandatory referral processes, economic analysis, and software services. Work will be authorized through individual Task Orders issued against the BOAs. Responses must be submitted via WSSC's eProcurement Portal at https://procurement.opengov.com/portal/wsscwater prior to 2:00 p.m. on Thursday, December 17, 2026, with late responses not accepted. The Commission does not guarantee any minimum quantity of work under these BOAs.

The clause governs the terms by which the BOAs may be extended to other eligible governmental entities within the Mid-Atlantic Purchasing Team consortium, allowing for intergovernmental and cooperative purchasing arrangements. This provision enables organizations that are not direct parties to the original procurement to access the negotiated pricing and terms established through WSSC Water's solicitation, thereby expanding the potential customer base and utilization of awarded contracts. No specific pricing terms, set-asides, or funding requirements are detailed within this particular document, as it functions as a standard contractual provision addressing the cooperative purchasing framework rather than financial or award specifications.
