The San Antonio River Authority is soliciting proposals for a Cybersecurity Insurance Broker through a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) released on September 12, 2025, with responses due by October 13, 2025, at 11:00 AM CST. The procurement seeks a United States-based insurance broker to secure cyber insurance coverage, provide comprehensive advisory services, and support claims management for the River Authority, which serves 3,658 square miles across Bexar, Wilson, Karnes, and Goliad Counties. Respondents must demonstrate a minimum of three years of experience, possess a State Insurance Producer License, and hold at least one relevant certification such as CIC, CRM, CPCU, NAS, CISSP, ARM, or PLUS. The initial contract term is one year, with potential renewals for up to four additional one-year terms, not exceeding a total of six years. Evaluation criteria will be weighted across several key areas: experience (45%), risk assessment and advisory services (25%), claims support (10%), pricing (10%), communication model (5%), and schedule (5%), with compensation structured as a single, fixed annual services fee paid after successful coverage placement.

The solicitation emphasizes diversity and inclusion, encouraging the utilization of Small, Minority, Women-Owned Business Enterprises (S/M/WBE), Disadvantaged Business Enterprises (DBE), and Historically Under-Utilized Businesses (HUB). Vendors must not be on federal debarment lists and must provide comprehensive documentation including references, conflict of interest forms, and a subcontractor utilization plan. While no specific budget range is explicitly stated, the pricing sheet allows respondents to propose unit prices for annual advisory services across a five-year period. The River Authority requires vendors to maintain multiple insurance coverages, including commercial general liability, professional liability, and privacy & network security liability, with specific minimum coverage amounts. The contract includes unique provisions related to non-discrimination, non-terrorism compliance, and adherence to Texas state laws regarding interactions with specific countries and business entities.
