NIGP 94974: Self Insured Program, Dental

NIGP 94974 Self Insured Program, Dental, an Item code, encompasses dental insurance administration and coverage services that state and local governments procure for their employee benefit programs. The City of Pflugerville, Texas and similar jurisdictions solicit dental coverage as part of comprehensive employee health benefit packages, typically bundled with medical, vision, FSA, HRA, HSA, and COBRA administration rather than as standalone dental procurement. State and local issuing bodies in this space include city governments managing employee benefits for municipal workforces. The scope of work involves providing dental plan options (PPO and DHMO), claims processing, network management, immediate coverage for current enrollees, and compliance with state insurance regulations and local procurement requirements including HUB certifications and ethics disclosures.

The City of Pflugerville, Texas posted RFP 2026-028 on August 19, 2026, requesting fully insured medical, dental, vision, FSA, HRA, HSA, and COBRA administration covering 422 full-time active employees, with proposals due September 22, 2026 at 10:00 a.m. CST. The City evaluates proposals on cost (50 percent), claims processing capabilities (20 percent), integrated systems and technology (10 percent), network adequacy (10 percent), and past performance (10 percent); the contract offers a five-year term with options for one-year, two-year, or three-year initial periods followed by one-year renewal options. Proposers must maintain workers' compensation and general liability insurance, complete Texas Ethics Commission Form 1295, comply with HUB requirements, and provide three current and two former references demonstrating experience with similar-sized government entities. Recent activity is limited to this single posted opportunity.
