NIGP 94995: Worker's Comp., Other Contr Svcs

NIGP 94995 Worker's Compensation, Other Contractor Services, an Item code, encompasses third-party claims administration for self-insured workers' compensation programs managed by county and municipal governments. State and local buyers under this code solicit Florida and South Carolina counties, including Monroe County, Greenville County, and Sarasota County, to manage workers' compensation claims processing, medical provider coordination, benefit determination, investigative services, and regulatory compliance on a self-funded basis. Issuing bodies are primarily county governments operating self-insured retention programs for workforces ranging from 1,000 to 2,500+ employees; these are mature procurement environments where counties maintain long-standing self-insurance infrastructure and replace or extend third-party administrator contracts on predictable cycles. The work involves claims intake and initial contact within specified timeframes, physician and claimant coordination, medical bill reduction through state fee schedules and preferred provider networks, subrogation and recovery activities, state-mandated reporting, quarterly claims summaries, loss runs, and direct system access for the hiring county.

Recent activity concentrates in Florida and South Carolina, with three solicitations posted between April 20 and May 2, 2026. Monroe County, Florida issued RFP 629 (response deadline July 16, 2026) to replace incumbent Relation Insurance Services, covering 1,320 employees across county agencies, 82 open claims with $3.8 million in reserves, and projected annual medical bills of $2.1 million; evaluation criteria weight adjuster experience, office proximity, system quality, caseload limits, and a local business preference allowance up to 10 points. Greenville County, South Carolina issued RFP 26101 (response deadline May 8, 2026) for a three-year contract with renewal options through year five, requiring ten years' experience with groups of 1,000+ employees and structured pricing combining quarterly retainers, per-claim fees for lost-time and medical-only claims, and bill review services. Sarasota County, Florida issued RFP 262840MM (response deadline April 3, 2026) seeking a 6-20 resident adjuster licensee to serve 2,000+ employees, with presentations required if annual costs exceed $350,000; grant funding restrictions eliminate local and disadvantaged-enterprise set-asides. All three solicitations require comprehensive professional liability, general liability, and employers' liability insurance.
