The sector covers a wide range of professional services including insurance carriers, insurance agencies, financial investment firms, and third-party administrative services for financial and insurance products.
Federal contract awards in this category demonstrate significant diversity across government agencies. The Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation (PBGC) has recently solicited custodian banking services with a potential ten-year contract valued around $68.1 billion, highlighting the substantial scale of financial service contracts. Other awards include health insurance services for locally employed staff at various U.S. embassies worldwide, typically structured as fixed-price contracts with base years and multiple option periods. These contracts frequently utilize full and open competition procedures, with no specific set-aside designations, and are primarily administered by the Department of State and federal agencies like the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
Recent federal contract opportunities in this category focus on specialized insurance and financial services. These include health insurance for embassy staff in locations such as Guyana, Poland, and Georgia; group life insurance for consulate employees in Hong Kong and Macau; and specialized services like third-party administration for the World Trade Center Health Program.
