NIGP 91869: Insurance Consulting

NIGP 91869 Insurance Consulting, an Item code, encompasses advisory services that state and local governments procure to design, evaluate, and manage employee benefit programs, property and casualty insurance portfolios, and self-insured health plans. Recent state and local opportunities reflect two distinct consulting segments: employee benefits consulting (plan design, RFP management, actuarial analysis, and vendor negotiation for municipal and county workforces) and insurance brokerage of record / agent of record services (placement, renewal management, claims advocacy, and risk assessment across property, liability, workers' compensation, and specialty coverages). Municipal procurement bodies—cities, counties, school districts, and special-purpose districts—dominate this code, with cities of Edinburg, Lubbock, and Sarasota in Texas; Orange County and Hillsborough County in Florida; and Greenville County in South Carolina appearing as repeat buyers within the recent activity window. State-level activity is limited; the primary state-level opportunity involved Texas Prepaid Higher Education Tuition Board fiduciary brokerage for $2.8 billion in managed assets.

The geographic spread concentrates heavily in Texas, Florida, Colorado, Georgia, and South Carolina, with secondary activity in New York, Michigan, Nevada, and Arizona. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Edinburg, Texas requesting employee benefits consulting services with proposals due August 4, 2026 (RFP), capped at $45,000 annually for approximately 1,200 employees; Hillsborough County, Florida soliciting five-year insurance consulting and brokerage services with an estimated contract value of $1,000,000 (RFP with proposals due July 24, 2026); and the City of Tampa, Florida seeking employee benefits consulting through RFP #26-P-00112 (proposals due August 6, 2026) for approximately 2,900 employees and 600 retirees. Stop-loss administration, pharmacy benefit management, and third-party claims administration services for workers' compensation and health plans appear as specialized sub-segments within this code, with opportunities posted by Upper Trinity Regional Water District (Texas), Monroe County (Florida), and the City of Gainesville (Florida). Small business enterprise and local vendor preferences appear in roughly 30 percent of recent solicitations; set-asides are uncommon, though SBE subcontracting bonuses and local preference weightings are standard in Florida and Texas procurements.
