The Washington Suburban Sanitary Commission (WSSC Water) in Maryland is soliciting sealed responses for heavy-duty truck alignments, steering and suspension repairs, drive shaft fabrication, and replacement parts and services, with responses due November 2, 2026 at 2:00 p.m. through WSSC's eProcurement Portal. Late responses will not be accepted. The solicitation identifies no set-asides.

The procurement is processed as a Small Purchase under WSSC's standard procurement regulations, and award will be made to the lowest responsive and responsible quote. WSSC intends a single award. The contractor must be located within fifty miles of six designated WSSC garages, maintain ASE-certified technicians with at least three years of heavy-duty vehicle experience, and employ at least one certified welder.

Work supports the Fleet Services Division's dump trucks, vactor and combination sewer cleaning trucks, and service and utility bodies used in water and wastewater operations across Prince George's and Montgomery Counties. The attached file describes four service categories: heavy spring and suspension repair, including leaf-spring and air-ride systems; in-house fabrication of brackets, mounts, and frame components; driveshaft fabrication and repair with dynamic balancing; and heavy alignment for multi-axle vehicles. The file covers Light Duty (10,000 to 15,000 lbs GVW), Medium Duty (15,001 to 19,000 lbs GVW), and Heavy Duty (19,001 to 50,000 lbs GVW) vehicles, while the solicitation description references Class 6-8 vehicles.

Pricing is structured as an as-needed requirements contract. Bidders submit fully burdened hourly labor rates for four service sections (Alignment, Kingpin Services, Leaf Spring, and Drive Shaft) across the three weight categories, plus contingent labor rates. The contractor must warrant labor for a minimum of ninety days, honor manufacturer parts warranties, and submit quotations within forty-eight hours of specification requests. Compliance with OSHA and environmental requirements is mandatory.

The base term is one year with prices firm throughout. WSSC may extend the contract for four additional one-year renewal options at its sole discretion. Thereafter, WSSC may approve annual price adjustments at its discretion, capped at a maximum 10% increase per year.
