About this file
This Notice of Award form, issued by the State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office for General Services, details a contract for Employee Life Insurance Benefits for the Illinois State Tollway Authority (ISTHA). The contract was awarded to Metropolitan Life Insurance Company after a competitive evaluation process, utilizing CMS Master Contract #P-62662 with Mesirow Insurance Services, Inc. for Insurance Brokerage Services. The initial contract term is three years, running from 03/01/2025 to 02/29/2028, with the potential for additional renewal terms. The life insurance program will provide Life Insurance and Accidental Death and Dismemberment (AD&D) benefits for employees and qualified dependents, with optional additional coverage available at employees' own cost.
The total award amount is $540,000.00, and four other bidders were considered unsuccessful in the procurement process. Metropolitan Life Insurance Company will work with Richards Graphic Communications, Inc. to meet the 4% Business Enterprise Program (BEP) utilization goal. The procurement was conducted through an Invitation for Bid process, with the contract awarded based on the proposal most advantageous to the state. No financial return to the state is noted, and the contract appears to be a service provision rather than a revenue-generating opportunity. The award was signed on July 9, 2025, by a state procurement official, finalizing the contract selection.
