WSSC is seeking a firm to provide copier and print management services under an operating lease agreement to support its extensive fleet of multifunctional and network printers across more than twenty locations in Prince George's and Montgomery Counties, Maryland. The contract aims to lease and manage production and multifunctional printers, including sixty-seven color multifunctional printers, two monochrome production printers, and two color production printers, while integrating over two hundred network printers owned by WSSC. A major portion of the printer fleet, approximately eighty percent, is located at the RGH Support Center in Laurel, Maryland. The contract focuses on reducing the total cost of ownership, consolidating and optimizing the printer fleet, enhancing security for printing sensitive documents, lessening the burden on IT resources, and promoting environmentally friendly printing practices.
The solicitation, issued by the General Services Department of Maryland, carries the reference number 93590 and was posted on January 30, 2026, with responses due by February 25, 2026. Key contacts for the contract are Yvonne Farr, Support Services Section Manager, and Sejal Lakhawala, Senior Procurement Specialist. The scope of work involves both leasing new equipment and managing existing devices, ensuring a secure and efficient printing environment that aligns with WSSC's goals of cost efficiency, security, and sustainability across its operations.
The contract seeks a redesign of the WSSC's public-facing website, which is currently over four years old and no longer aligns with the organization's updated strategic plan and identity as an innovative utility leader. The existing site, built on Drupal and hosted by Amazon Web Services, is content-heavy with a dated user experience, lacking modern design elements such as multi-column content and engaging visuals. While the site uses a Microsoft Co-Pilot chatbot as a supplemental search feature, it is poorly positioned and seldom utilized. The website complies with upcoming WCAG 2.1 Level AA accessibility standards but contains a large volume of outdated content that has been unpublished, even though thousands of linked files remain, some of which may not be legally required to be retained.
This solicitation, titled "Corporate Website Re-Design" and issued by Maryland’s Information Technology Department, invites responses by February 4, 2026, to enhance the WSSC website’s user experience and reflect the new SMART One Water mission, vision, values, and strategic priorities. The project is managed through the State, Local, Education, and Defense (SLED) organization type, with the office located in Laurel, Maryland. Points of contact for this contract include a Senior IT Contract Administrator and a Senior Procurement Specialist. The redesign aims to modernize the platform, improve content presentation, and better support the organization’s goals with a site architecture and user interface that engages visitors more effectively.
