About this opportunity
Louisiana State University is requesting proposals for a fully insured Medicare Advantage plan for retirees, with proposals due August 18, 2026. The solicitation seeks comprehensive health insurance coverage—medical, prescription drug, and supplemental benefits—that meets Medicare Advantage regulatory requirements for LSU's eligible retiree population.
The contract term extends for a specified period with potential renewal options. LSU's retiree population and contribution-sharing structures between the university and participating retirees are defined in the RFP. Evaluation criteria prioritize plan design, network quality, pricing competitiveness, and carrier financial stability. The pricing structure requires fully insured coverage with transparent rate documentation and cost projections.
Site visits and pre-proposal conferences are available for interested bidders. The RFP may include set-asides or preferences for certain carrier types or participation models, though the source does not specify the nature or scope of such preferences. Funding derives from LSU's budget allocation for retiree health benefits.
