About this opportunity

The City of Phoenix Finance Department's Central Procurement Division is seeking a comprehensive FMLA and Paid Parental Leave (PPL) Administration Services contractor to manage leave administration for approximately 14,300 employees across 30+ city departments. The five-year contract, anticipated to commence on January 1, 2027, requires a single contractor to handle all aspects of FMLA and PPL administration, including claims management, documentation, reporting, and compliance. Minimum qualifications mandate that offerors have at least five consecutive years of experience providing FMLA and PPL administrative services to clients of comparable size and complexity. The solicitation was released on December 8, 2025, with a proposal response deadline of January 6, 2026, at 2:00 p.m. A non-mandatory pre-offer conference is scheduled for December 15, 2025, at 1:00 p.m. via Webex. Evaluation will be based on method of approach (40%), qualifications and experience/references (30%), and pricing (30%), with firms required to provide a performance bond equal to 10% of the total contract amount within fourteen calendar days of award notification.

The contract opportunity does not explicitly indicate specific set-aside designations, but it does reference Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) compliance under 49 CFR Part 26 with mandatory seven-day prompt payment provisions to subcontractors. The City currently contracts with FMLASource for these services and maintains an internal designated FMLA HR team to coordinate with the contractor. Required technology infrastructure includes secure employer and participant portals with multi-factor authentication, a 99.5% system uptime guarantee, customer service telephone support from 7:30 a.m. to 9:30 p.m. Arizona time Monday through Friday, and comprehensive reporting capabilities. Additional requirements include an annual internal audit, HIPAA compliance certification, cybersecurity risk assessments, background screening at maximum risk level, and network security and privacy liability insurance with $1,000,000 limits. The City reserves the right to award the contract to one or more offerors, and pricing must remain firm and fixed for the entire five-year contract term, with price decrease requests allowed at any time without supporting documentation.
