NIGP 95354: Liability, Automotive

NIGP 95354 Liability, Automotive (Item) covers third-party administration of auto liability claims, subrogation recovery services, and insurance brokerage support for state and local government fleets and self-insured programs. State and local governments under this code solicit third-party administrators to manage intake, investigation, reserve adjustment, settlement coordination, and claims disposition for motor vehicle accidents; subrogation recovery specialists to pursue third-party liability claims and negotiate recoveries; and insurance brokers or consultants to evaluate coverage, place policies, and provide ongoing risk management guidance. Issuing bodies include counties (San Mateo, Chatham, Hall, Clarke, and others), regional transit authorities (Trinity Metro), school districts (Manor ISD, Clarke County School District), and workforce development nonprofits. County risk management programs and transportation authorities appear as repeat buyers, particularly for TPA services tied to fleet operations or self-insured retention structures.

Recent activity spans California, Georgia, and Texas. The County of San Mateo has posted two successive RFPs (2026RFP00548 and 2026RFP00431) for automobile liability and medical-malpractice claims administration with proposals due in May and June 2026, seeking firms with four years' experience to manage approximately 30 open auto-liability claims and related litigation support.
