About this file

Exhibit 3 - Cost Reply is a pricing document for the Florida Department of Management Services (DMS), Division of Retirement, related to the State University System Optional Retirement Program (SUSORP) and Senior Management Service Optional Annuity Program (SMSOAP). The document outlines a cost evaluation criteria for a comprehensive retirement program service contract covering approximately 18,000 SUSORP members and 95 SMSOAP members, with responses due by June 16, 2025, at 2:00 p.m. Eastern Time. The contract will be evaluated using a 300-point cost scoring system that assesses three key areas: Stable Value Fund/Fixed Account Crediting Rate (100 points), Stable Value Fund/Fixed Account Floor/Guaranteed Minimum Interest Rate (100 points), and Per Member Fee (100 points).

The pricing structure requires respondents to propose a crediting rate that remains firm for the first 24 months, with a guaranteed minimum interest rate for the entire contract term. Per-member fees must be inclusive of all services and cannot be $0, with fees charged monthly and collected quarterly, and only applied to accounts with values over $1,000. The contract will be compensation-based through fees charged to program members, with no direct costs to the Department or employers. Vendors must maintain a $2 million performance bond and are prohibited from adding additional fees or engaging in revenue sharing. The current plan assets total $8,265,248,200.21, with TIAA currently holding the largest share at $5,254,020,079.57, indicating a significant potential contract value for the selected service provider.
