NIGP 94929: Increase/Decrease in Self Insured Liability

NIGP 94929 Increase/Decrease In Self Insured Liability, an Item code, encompasses third-party administrator services for handling municipal and school district liability claims, including general liability, automobile liability, law enforcement liability, public official liability, school board legal liability, and employment practices liability. State and local governments use this code to contract for comprehensive claims administration — intake, investigation, evaluation, reserving, and resolution — typically for self-insured or partially self-insured risk pools. The work requires vendors to coordinate with municipal legal counsel on reserve setting, settlement authority, claim denials, and litigation strategy, and to meet statutory reporting and compliance obligations specific to each jurisdiction.

The City of New Haven, Connecticut, and the New Haven Board of Education issued RFP 2026RFPCNH355 on May 13, 2026, seeking a third-party administrator to manage liability claims for the July 1, 2026–June 30, 2027 policy period; proposals were due May 27, 2026. The RFP required vendors to hold at least five years of municipal or educational liability claims experience, employ certified claims adjusters (AIC or ARM designated), and maintain professional liability, excess/umbrella, and cyber liability insurance; New Haven applies its Living Wage Ordinance to contracts exceeding $25,000 and requires current workforce demographic reporting and equal opportunity certifications. The pricing proposal structure called for detailed annual management fees by claim category and year, plus continuation costs for five years minimum and any one-time setup or custom reporting charges, though no specific budget range was disclosed. Connecticut is the only jurisdiction shown in current solicitation activity under this code.
