This file is a Census of Enrolled Members as of June 2026 for the State of Tennessee's Voluntary, Fully-Insured Vision Insurance Plan RFP 31786-00192. The spreadsheet provides enrollment data across five subscriber categories (employee only, employee plus one, employee plus two, employee plus three or more, and retiree) broken down by both Basic Vision and Expanded Vision benefit options. The RFP seeks proposals for a fully-insured vision insurance plan covering eligible state employees, local education and local government employees, retirees, and dependents across Tennessee's 83 counties and national coverage. The plan offers two distinct benefit options with specified frame and contact lens allowances, with contract performance running from January 1, 2028 through December 31, 2032. The pre-response conference is scheduled for August 21, 2026, with technical proposal responses due November 6, 2026. Technical evaluation is targeted for completion by December 17, 2026, with cost proposal opening on December 18, 2026, negotiations scheduled for January 6-8, 2027, and Notice of Intent to Award on January 28, 2027.

The enrolled population as of June 2026 totals approximately 175,000 members across all coverage types and geographic areas spanning all 50 states and the District of Columbia. Utilization projections indicate monthly paid claims ranging from $550,000 to $1.088 million across both plan options, with exams representing the highest-volume service category. Respondents must hold a current Tennessee Certificate of Authority and demonstrate at least six years of experience providing group vision insurance to at least five employer accounts, with at least one account serving 10,000 members. The evaluation methodology weighs general qualifications (10 points), technical qualifications (20 points), network analysis (30 points), and cost proposals (40 points) for a total of 100 points, with award made to the responsive and responsible respondent offering the best combination of attributes rather than necessarily the lowest cost. The current incumbent vendor is EyeMed Vision, and all proposals must remain valid for at least 120 days following cost proposal opening.
