About this file
This addendum to RFP-DAS-495-27 pertains to group life insurance coverage administered by the New Hampshire Department of Administrative Services, Division of Risk and Benefits. The solicitation seeks proposals for a non-participating, prospectively rated fully insured life and accidental death & dismemberment program covering approximately 10,050 eligible full-time state employees. The offering consists of one employer-paid basic life plan providing $50,000 in coverage and six employee-paid supplemental options including dependent child coverage, with total enrollment volume of approximately $1.1 billion across all plans. Proposals are due July 8, 2026 at 2:00 PM ET, with bidders' inquiries due by June 24, 2026 and responses posted by June 26, 2026. The contract term is five years from January 1, 2027 through December 31, 2031, with optional renewal for up to two additional years as mutually agreed and approved by the Governor and Executive Council. Implementation activities must commence within seven days of approval or September 1, 2026, whichever is later.
Qualified bidders must be New Hampshire licensed insurance producers or business entities with an A.M. Best rating of B++ or higher and five years of experience with at least three public sector clients. The state requires fully insured rates without commissions and performance guarantees backed by a minimum percentage of annual premium at risk. Evaluation criteria allocate 50 points to non-financial technical scoring and 50 points to financial scoring based on employer-paid premium (20 points), employee-paid premium (15 points), and total paid premium (15 points). Any bidder whose total paid premium exceeds 25 percent higher than the lowest bidder is excluded from further consideration. The current vendor is Voya Financial (ReliaStar Life Insurance Company), which has provided coverage since 2021.

ADDENDUM # 02 TO PROPOSAL INVITATION 495-27
DATE AND TIME OF BID CLOSING: 7/8/2026 2:00 PM
FOR: GROUP LIFE INSURANCE
Question 1: Per the State’s procurement site there was a similar RFP for these products that was cancelled on
6/16/2026 (RFP#492-27); are there any key differences between that RFP and this current RFP that we should be aware of.
State Response: Please see RFP 492-27 available at https://apps.das.nh.gov/NHProcurement/Bid for differences.
Question 2: For the Spouse Supplemental Life, the Rate History worksheet of the Life RFP Attachment workbook does not match the February 2026 Voya bill. In particular, the bill shows that the Spouse Option 2 rates match those of the Employee Supplemental Life rates, while the Rate History worksheet shows the same rates for Spouse Option
1 and Option 2, both of which are higher than the Employee Supplemental rates. Please explain this discrepancy.
State Response: The Rate History worksheet previously referenced for Option 2 was incorrect. The State has uploaded a corrected Rate History worksheet, dated June 26, 2026, to the Secure FTP Folder for bidders to review.
