This document is Addendum No. 1, dated 05/19/2025, issued by Southeastern Louisiana University's Purchasing Department for a sickness and accidental health insurance plan for international students. The addendum outlines a bid solicitation (Bid No. 50015-250528A) seeking a one-year insurance policy covering the period from August 12, 2025, through August 11, 2026, with potential for four additional one-year renewals. The base bid is mandatory for F-1 graduate and undergraduate international students with a hard waiver, non-F-1 Intensive English students, and available for J-1 Exchange Visitors.

The addendum includes a series of inquiries and responses regarding the insurance plan, emphasizing the requirement for an Affordable Care Act (ACA) compliant plan. Key details reveal the current total enrollment is 323 students, with 25-30 being athletes, and the university is seeking a compliant insurance plan with specific coverage requirements. The document indicates the university is not open to reviewing student-only rate options, does not currently work with a broker, and seeks a plan that covers international student-athletes through a separate policy and bid. No specific pricing information is disclosed in this addendum, which serves primarily to clarify bid specifications and respond to potential bidder questions.
