NIGP 94645: Employee Benefit Funds

NIGP 94645 Employee Benefit Funds is an Item code capturing state and local government procurement of specialized consulting, administration, and advisory services that manage employee retirement savings, health and welfare plans, and related benefit programs. The work being solicited ranges from comprehensive benefit plan administration and claims processing to specialized services such as capital modeling for self-insured risk pools, wage and hour classification studies to inform compensation structures, and health navigation services that complement existing coverage. These services support the full lifecycle of public-sector benefit programs—from plan design and renewal strategy through compliance, cost management, claims administration, and participant support.

Solicitations under this code come from diverse issuing bodies: county governments (Butts County, Georgia; Volusia County, Florida), municipalities (City of Wheat Ridge, Colorado; City of Sun Prairie, Wisconsin; City of Dallas, Texas), school districts (Northside Independent School District, San Antonio, Texas), special-purpose public entities (Cooperative Insurance Services, Oregon; Pinellas County, Florida), state departments (Washington State Department of Revenue), and housing authorities (Fort Worth Housing Solutions, Texas). Recent activity spans benefit administration services (Volusia County's third-party administration of FSAs, HRAs, COBRA, and retiree billing through RFP 26P66TF with response due April 15, 2026), medical TPA and pharmacy benefit management (Northside Independent School District RFP 2026-076, response due May 6, 2026), benefits concierge and health navigation services (Pinellas County RFP 26-0251 with response due March 5, 2026), health insurance brokerage and consulting (City of Wheat Ridge RFP 2622, response due May 1, 2026; City of Sun Prairie RFP 26-HR09, response due March 31, 2026), pension investment advisory services (City of Dallas RFP BEZ2600029974, response due May 1, 2026), wage and hour compensation analysis (Butts County RFP-2026-07-001, response due August 17, 2026), and unclaimed property auditing and collection services (Washington State Department of Revenue RFPUCP202601 and RFP202601, response due June 5 and June 15, 2026). Geographic activity concentrates in the South and West—Georgia, Florida, Texas, Colorado, Wisconsin, Oregon, and Washington—with the largest school district and major municipalities driving substantial contract values and multi-year terms typical of benefit administration procurement cycles that track annual renewal dates on January 1 or calendar-based fiscal years.
