I82104-SC Insurance Providers for County and School Division Contracts and Facility-Use Agreements

Stafford County and its School Division are seeking insurance providers through a Request for Information (RFI) to establish a resource listing for businesses and organizations requiring insurance coverage for contracts and facility-use agreements. The procurement targets insurance providers capable of offering comprehensive coverage including commercial general liability, automobile liability, workers' compensation, professional liability, builders risk, pollution liability, and sexual abuse/molestation coverage. Providers must be authorized to conduct business in Virginia and maintain an A.M. Best rating of at least "A-XII". Key evaluation criteria include the ability to provide certificates of insurance naming the County and/or School Division as additional insureds on a primary and non-contributory basis, with specific endorsement requirements. The RFI was posted on December 4, 2024, with an extended due date of December 31, 2099, indicating an ongoing procurement process. Responses will be reviewed by the County Risk Manager and an insurance consultant who will determine which providers to include in the resource listing.

The RFI does not specify specific set-aside designations or restrictions on respondent types, suggesting open participation for qualified insurance providers. The procurement approach is unique in that it creates a resource listing on the County Purchasing website without guaranteeing or endorsing specific providers. No incumbent vendors are mentioned, and there are no apparent infrastructure or technology integration requirements. The County and School Division will not participate in premium sharing programs or accept commission income, emphasizing an arms-length procurement approach. While no specific award values or budget ranges are detailed, the comprehensive coverage requirements suggest providers must be capable of offering substantial insurance limits, typically including $2M general aggregate and $1M per occurrence for general liability. The listing will serve as a reference tool for businesses and organizations seeking appropriate insurance coverage when engaging with Stafford County and its School Division.
