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 managing self-insured liability claims portfolios across municipal and school district risk pools. State and local governments procure TPA services to handle claim intake, investigation, evaluation, reserving, settlement, and litigation coordination across multiple liability lines—General Liability, Automobile Liability, Law Enforcement Liability, Public Official Liability, School Board Legal Liability, and Employment Practices Liability—typically on an annual contract cycle. Issuing bodies include cities, boards of education, and municipal risk management departments operating self-insured programs. The City of New Haven and the New Haven Board of Education issued RFP 2026RFPCNH355 on May 13, 2026, seeking TPA services for July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027, requiring vendors to hold five years of municipal or educational claims administration experience, employ certified claims adjusters (AIC or ARM designations), and demonstrate knowledge of Connecticut state laws and fair claims practices standards.

Recent activity concentrates in Connecticut, with the New Haven RFP representing the primary posted opportunity in the source material. The RFP closed May 27, 2026, with technical and pricing proposals submitted through the City's eProcurement Portal; vendors must demonstrate system capabilities through product demonstrations and comply with the City's Living Wage Ordinance for contracts exceeding $25,000.
