About this file
Addendum No. 2 is issued by the Florida Department of Management Services (DMS) for Invitation to Negotiate (ITN) No. DMS-24/25-232 regarding Group Term Life Insurance. This addendum modifies the original timeline of events due to a formal written protest, with key dates now marked as "TBD" (To Be Determined). The solicitation seeks a group term life insurance provider for approximately 345,037 members, including active employees, legislators, and retirees, with an anticipated contract implementation date of January 1, 2026. The revised timeline includes a deadline to submit questions on March 17, 2025, and a public opening (in-person and via teleconference) with dates yet to be finalized. The evaluation and negotiations phases are tentatively scheduled between April and July 2025, with a potential Notice of Intent to Award by July 28, 2025.
The addendum highlights the ongoing procurement process, which remains unchanged in its core objectives despite the timeline modifications. The solicitation covers six group term life insurance options with various coverage levels, including basic life insurance and optional term life insurance. The contract will have an initial four-year term with potential for up to four additional one-year renewals. While specific pricing details are not provided in this addendum, the original solicitation indicates a comprehensive evaluation process across multiple categories, including network access, implementation, account management, customer service, data interface, claims processing, and underwriting. The successful vendor will be required to provide a $5,000,000 performance bond and maintain various insurance coverages, with integration expected with the state's existing People First system for data transmission and enrollment management.
