About this file
This Notice of Award Form, issued by the State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office for General Services, concerns an Employee Stop-Loss Benefit Program contract awarded to Wellpoint Life and Health Insurance Company for the Illinois State Tollway Authority (ISTHA). The contract, with a bid number of 25-557THA-FINAN-B-47685, was procured through Mesirow Insurance Services, Inc. under CMS Master Contract #P-62662, and covers a one-year initial term from 03/01/2025 to 02/28/2026. The stop-loss coverage is designed to protect the Tollway from high claim costs by reimbursing the organization for claims exceeding a specified individual threshold under the medical program. A seven-member Tollway evaluation committee reviewed proposals from seven bidders and determined that Wellpoint's proposal best meets the Tollway's healthcare needs.
The total award amount is $1,195,889.00, with no specified renewal terms at this time. The procurement process did not involve any Business Enterprise Program (BEP) or Veterans Business Program (VBP) utilization, as both are listed at 0% in the document. No financial return to the state or vendor was estimated, and the contract was awarded based on the proposal being most advantageous to the state. The procurement method is categorized as a General award, with the rationale described by the purchasing agency considered reasonable and serving as the basis for the contract decision. The document was digitally signed on July 9, 2025, by a representative from the State Procurement Office.
