NIGP 95337: Disability

NIGP 95337 Disability, an Item code, encompasses employee benefit plan administration and consulting services that state and local governments procure to manage voluntary and mandatory disability coverage, supplemental health benefits, and related employee welfare programs. Recent solicitations show state and local buyers are seeking third-party administrators for long-term and short-term disability claims, benefit brokers and consultants to design and negotiate plan offerings, and single-carrier or consolidated benefit platforms covering disability alongside life insurance, accident coverage, and other supplemental products. The range of issuing bodies includes county governments (Catoosa County, Georgia; Brevard County, Florida; Polk County, Florida; Los Alamos County, New Mexico), public schools (Polk County Public Schools), municipal entities (City of Lewisville, Texas; City of Alameda Housing Authority), and special-purpose districts. County boards and school districts appear as repeat buyers; school districts in particular are consolidating claims administration across multiple liability and workers' compensation lines alongside disability coverage.

Recent activity spans Florida, Georgia, New Mexico, and Texas. Representative opportunities include Catoosa County Board of Commissioners' RFQ for broker services to design and negotiate employee benefits for approximately 430 full-time employees, with qualifications due October 22, 2026; Brevard County, Florida's RFP for group life, disability, and supplemental health benefits consolidation effective January 1, 2027, under contract number RFP 1-26-12; Polk County Public Schools' ITN 039-DW-0826 for third-party claims administration across auto liability, property, general liability, and workers' compensation, with Cannon Cochran Management Services recommended for award following Phase II presentations; Los Alamos County's RFP 2670 for fully insured long-term disability covering approximately 706 county employees, with proposals due September 1, 2026; the Housing Authority of the City of Alameda's RFP 2026RFPHR003 for employee benefits consulting services excluding health insurance, with proposals due September 7, 2026; and the City of Lewisville's RFP #26-71-P for comprehensive employee health and welfare benefits covering approximately 910 active employees, with submission by May 26, 2026. Most recent opportunities show strong emphasis on consolidated administration, multi-year rate guarantees, real-time reporting and analytics access, and compliance with state-specific preference or labor-practice statutes.
