NIGP 95391: Unemployment Insurance

NIGP 95391 Unemployment Insurance is an Item code that encompasses employee benefits advisory and brokerage services for self-insured and fully insured benefit programs across state and local jurisdictions. The code captures work that extends well beyond traditional unemployment insurance administration to include comprehensive benefits consulting, broker-of-record placement, benefit plan design and management, plan administration systems integration, and carrier coordination for medical, dental, vision, life, disability, flexible spending accounts, and ancillary coverages. State and local issuing bodies—counties, cities, school districts, transit authorities, and state agencies—solicit these services to manage employee benefit programs for dispersed workforces across multiple agencies and retirees, balancing cost containment with employee retention and satisfaction.

Greenville County, South Carolina posted RFP #26057 on July 13, 2026, seeking an Insurance Broker of Record and fee-based consultant to manage comprehensive self-insured and fully insured benefits for approximately 2,700 benefit-eligible employees across seven county agencies and retirees, with a response deadline of January 23, 2026. The solicitation specified a one-year initial term with four potential annual renewals, evaluation on responsiveness, experience, cost, financial stability, and references in a two-phase process including interviews, and a contract start date of July 1, 2026. The County requires contractors to maintain general liability coverage of $1,000,000 per occurrence and $2,000,000 aggregate, and to structure pricing as a monthly retainer plus hourly rates for special projects, with net-30 payment terms. No geographic spread beyond South Carolina or additional recent opportunities are evident in the source.
