DTCC Vision Insurance

Delaware Technical and Community College is requesting proposals for a comprehensive vision benefits program for eligible employees and their covered dependents under RFP DTCC2610-VISION, with proposals due October 21, 2026 at 1:00 p.m. local time and questions due September 18, 2026.

The College seeks a qualified insurance carrier or third-party administrator offering broad provider access, competitive pricing, and innovative member tools. Vendors must hold Delaware licensure or initiate the application process, maintain commercial general liability coverage with minimum limits of $1,000,000, and comply with all federal, state, and local laws. A critical compliance requirement mandates that vendors attest to no offshore facility execution and that non-public Delaware state data will not be stored or transferred outside the United States.

The contract term is three years with three optional one-year extensions. Award notification is anticipated January 21, 2027. The successful vendor must guarantee rates for the initial three-year period and submit monthly usage reports detailing contract activity.

Evaluation weighting is cost (25%), experience and reputation including claims and customer service (25%), capacity to meet requirements including online enrollment database and accommodation of the College's lag pay process (25%), demonstrated ability and expertise with government and/or higher education (15%), and references (10%). The College reserves the right to reject any or all proposals, award to multiple vendors, and is not obligated to select the lowest-priced proposal.

Submission requires four paper copies and one electronic copy on USB memory drive, with pricing submitted as a separate electronic file. Responses to questions will be posted by October 2, 2026 at 4:30 p.m. No mandatory pre-proposal meeting has been established.
