PM_Contract_Justification_for_8-Year_Term.docx.pdf

This is a Contract Justification document for an 8-Year Term position approved by Caprecia Poole-Williams, Chief Procurement Officer, related to the Washington Suburban Sanitary Commission Water (WSSC Water) in Maryland. The document supports the solicitation for an Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) Program Manager, a professional services position responsible for overseeing the implementation of an Advanced Metering Infrastructure system. WSSC Water is seeking sealed responses submitted through its eProcurement Portal at https://procurement.opengov.com/portal/wsscwater with a deadline of 2:00 pm on Monday, July 13, 2026, with late responses not accepted. The Program Manager will manage the implementation of an AMI Turnkey Solution that will be administered by a vendor selected through a separate future contract award. The contract term is eight years, reflecting the long-term nature of the infrastructure implementation program.

The justification document does not provide explicit pricing terms, set-aside information, incumbent contractor details, or specific funding amounts and sources in the content reviewed. However, the eight-year contract term indicates a substantial, strategic commitment to the AMI program with potential for extended engagement. Due to time constraints, WSSC Water indicated it will only extend the solicitation due date in cases of significant scope changes, and the agency requested that interested parties submit questions early to facilitate timely responses during the solicitation period.
