Life Insurance for Locally Employed Staff

The Department of State is seeking qualified life insurance carriers to provide life insurance services to locally employed staff at the U.S. Mission in Bratislava, Slovakia. The procurement falls under NAICS code 524113 (Direct Life Insurance Carriers) and PSC code G009 (Social- Non-Government Insurance Programs). The requirement encompasses insurance coverage for an estimated 70 locally hired employees without dependents, though this quantity is subject to change. While the pre-solicitation notice does not specify detailed evaluation criteria, prospective bidders should prepare to demonstrate their capability to service an international mission location and their experience with group life insurance programs. The formal solicitation is expected to be issued no sooner than February 16, 2026, and interested contractors should monitor the Federal Procurement Data System for the official Request for Proposal.

This procurement does not utilize any small business set-aside designations, meaning all qualified contractors regardless of size are eligible to compete. No incumbent contractor or current contract holder is identified in this pre-solicitation notice. The contract structure includes a base performance period of twelve months with four additional one-year option periods available at the Government's discretion, potentially extending the engagement to five years total. The specific contract value or budget range has not been disclosed in this pre-solicitation announcement. Contractors interested in pursuing this opportunity should ensure they can meet the administrative and logistical requirements of supporting an overseas mission location and should be prepared to submit proposals when the formal solicitation is released.
