NIGP 95351: Inland Marine

NIGP 95351 Inland Marine, an Item code, encompasses subrogation recovery and property-and-liability insurance brokerage services that state and local governments procure to recover third-party claims and manage comprehensive coverage portfolios. State and local issuing bodies—including transit authorities, school districts, and general government entities—solicit these services through RFPs to manage claims arising from vehicle damage, property loss, and related incidents where liability can be established, as well as to renew and administer multi-year insurance programs covering operational and asset risk. Work under the code includes claim intake and investigation, demand negotiation and settlement authority, insurance brokerage with market assignment and placement services, and ongoing claims management with reporting and performance metrics frameworks.

Recent activity spans transit and education sectors across multiple states. Trinity Metro, the Fort Worth Transportation Authority in Texas, issued RFP 26-T020 in March 2026 (due April 9, 2026) seeking subrogation recovery services on a three-year initial term with optional renewals, structured on a commission-based fee model with settlement authority thresholds; the evaluation weighted reporting and performance metrics at 25 points and pricing at 35 points, with required professional liability insurance of $1 million per claim and $2 million aggregate. Clarke County School District in Georgia posted RFP #26-0504 in February 2026 (market-request deadline February 27, 2026; full-proposal deadline May 4, 2026) for property-and-liability insurance renewal effective July 1, 2026, structured as a five-year award with McNeary Consulting Services managing market assignment and proposal analysis. The code sees activity in Texas and Georgia; no incumbent vendors or specific budget ceilings are disclosed in these solicitations.
