The Department of State's Bureau of Western Hemisphere Affairs has awarded a single-award indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity (IDIQ) contract to Family Guardian Insurance Company LIMITED, operating through its Bahamahealth division, to provide comprehensive health insurance coverage and administration services for Foreign Service National (FSN) employees stationed in The Bahamas. The IDIQ contract, valued at over $5.4 million through November 2024, serves as the primary vehicle for the Bureau to procure these insurance services, with the agency having issued multiple fixed-price, level-of-effort delivery orders against the IDIQ totaling around $2 million in potential value. The delivery orders, which typically cover one-month performance periods, enable the Bureau to efficiently manage and maintain health insurance for its local staff in support of U.S. diplomatic operations in the Caribbean region. No set-aside designations were applied to these contract awards.
Under the IDIQ and associated delivery orders, Family Guardian Insurance Company LIMITED is responsible for providing placement, coverage, and administration of health insurance plans for FSN employees in The Bahamas. The contracted services aim to ensure continuous and comprehensive health insurance support for the Department of State's civilian personnel stationed abroad. By leveraging Family Guardian's expertise in the local Bahamian insurance market, the Bureau is able to effectively meet the unique insurance needs of its Foreign Service National staff through this IDIQ contracting approach.
