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 the Washington Suburban Sanitary Commission (WSSC) in Maryland. The Chilton Drive Sewer Rehabilitation project involves the repair, rehabilitation, or replacement of 1,270 linear feet (0.24 miles) of defective sewer mains, 856 linear feet (0.16 miles) of defective sewer laterals, and ten manholes located in the Paint Branch Basin. Sealed responses must be submitted via WSSC's eProcurement Portal at https://procurement.opengov.com/portal/wsscwater prior to 2:00 pm on Tuesday, December 16, 2025, with late responses not accepted.

The clause permits other governmental entities and public purchasing cooperatives within the Mid-Atlantic region to utilize any resulting contract awards from this solicitation for their own procurement needs, subject to the terms and conditions of the resulting agreement. This cooperative purchasing provision allows qualified entities to leverage competitive pricing and terms negotiated through the primary procurement process without conducting separate competitive bids, thereby streamlining procurement procedures and reducing administrative burden across participating jurisdictions.
