Public notice of intent to use of interstate cooperative contract for purchase in excess of $250,000

Washington County in the United States has released a Public Notice of Intent to Utilize an Interstate Cooperative Contract for a purchase exceeding $250,000, under Bid Solicitation #S-C03342-00017714. This procurement method indicates that Washington County intends to leverage an existing contract established by another governmental entity, likely through a competitive bidding process conducted elsewhere, to acquire goods or services. This approach is typically used to expedite procurement and potentially achieve better pricing through bulk purchasing or pre-negotiated terms. The specific goods or services to be procured are not detailed in the notice itself, but the value threshold suggests a significant acquisition. Typical requirements when utilizing cooperative contracts involve ensuring the original contract's terms are applicable and beneficial to Washington County, and that the vendor supplying under that contract agrees to extend the same terms. Interested parties should review the details of the referenced interstate cooperative contract to understand the scope, specifications, pricing, and terms. This method aims for efficiency and cost savings for the county.
