UNSPSC 78141506: Freight, including insurance services

Freight services which include insurance to allow UN organizations to separate out the costs involved without having separate insurance cover.

UNSPSC 78141506 Freight, including insurance services is a Commodity code covering insurance brokerage, administration, and related professional services that state and local governments procure for risk management, employee benefits, property and liability coverage, and specialized recovery services. Recent activity shows school districts, universities, counties, cities, and workforce agencies soliciting brokers to manage general liability and property programs, student accident and teacher liability insurance, Medicare Advantage administration, subrogation recovery, and insurance program evaluation—reflecting a mix of operational and employee-benefit insurance needs across public-sector portfolios.

The issuing-body mix spans state higher-education systems (University System of Georgia), state education agencies (Texas Education Agency), independent school districts (Garland ISD, Clarke County School District, Manor ISD, Houston City College), county governments (Hall County, Los Angeles County, Clarke County), cities (McKinney, Fort Worth via Trinity Metro), and regional workforce development boards (Workforce Solutions Borderplex). Recent opportunities include the University System of Georgia's RFP for PPV Insurance brokerage services on an aggregate $3.5 billion real-estate portfolio (eRFP posted May 14, 2026, due June 5, 2026); Garland Independent School District's RFP for student accident insurance covering approximately 8,801 student athletes with a five-year estimated value of $1.45 million (posted May 5, 2026, due May 5, 2026); Hall County's RFQ/P for Medicare Advantage plan administration for 183 retirees (posted April 30, 2026, due June 4, 2026); Los Angeles County Public Works' RFP for insurance recovery services related to January 2025 fire events (posted April 29, 2026, due June 3, 2026); Workforce Solutions Borderplex's RFQ for insurance broker services across six west Texas counties (posted April 6, 2026, due April 29, 2026); the Texas Education Agency's RFP for teacher liability insurance program design and administration with five-year term (posted January 30, 2026, due February 25, 2026); Trinity Metro's RFP for subrogation recovery services (posted March 11, 2026, due April 9, 2026); and Clarke County School District's RFP for property and liability insurance brokers with five-year term (posted February 7, 2026, due February 27, 2026). Evaluation criteria commonly weight technical qualifications, firm experience, service delivery approach, and cost, with many RFPs requiring proof of professional liability insurance ($1 million to $5 million per claim depending on scope), commercial general liability coverage, and demonstration of public-sector or nonprofit experience. Geographic activity concentrates in Texas (school districts, workforce agencies, Trinity Metro, McKinney), Georgia (University System, Hall County, Clarke County), and California (Los Angeles County), with additional activity in west Texas and broader Southeast. Vendor qualifications frequently require minimum five years of public-sector insurance experience, licensed brokerage credentials, established carrier relationships, and willingness to structure compensation on commission, fee-based, or negotiated-fee arrangements with no explicit budget caps disclosed in most RFPs.
