The procurement does not specify explicit set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged business enterprises based on the available information. Potential respondents are likely to be established third-party administration firms with specific expertise in workers' compensation claims management and healthcare service coordination. The self-funded nature of Chatham County's program suggests that vendors will need robust financial stability and comprehensive claims management infrastructure.
