NIGP 95360: Liability, Public Official/Government

NIGP Item 95360 Liability, Public Official/Government procurement focuses on insurance brokerage, risk management advisory, and third-party claims administration services that state and local governments use to manage exposure across property, casualty, general liability, workers' compensation, and specialized coverages. Recent solicitations show demand for bundled brokerage placement and risk strategy services, as well as dedicated third-party administration (TPA) of workers' compensation and multi-line claims. The issuing bodies are diverse—county governments, cities, school districts, and special-purpose workforce development boards—reflecting the universal need for insurance program management across jurisdictional types. Counties and cities are the dominant repeat buyers, with Rockland County (New York) and Hall County (Georgia) each appearing twice in the recent record, and school districts (Polk County Public Schools, Union County Board of Education) seeking specialized TPA or placement services. Georgia and Florida show particular concentration of recent activity, alongside solicitations from Pennsylvania, Arizona, Texas, and New York.
