Life Insurance Services - Technical Proposal Only

The Illinois Department of Central Management Services is seeking a vendor to provide a group life and accidental death & dismemberment (AD&D) insurance program for its employees and annuitants. This is a re-solicitation, and vendors are only required to submit technical proposals and required forms at this time; pricing will be submitted separately under Bid Number B-20593. The solicitation has a March 19, 2021 due date for electronic responses, as no paper submissions will be accepted. The successful vendor must meet the contract's 5% Business Enterprise Program (BEP) utilization goal, and will be required to submit a BEP Utilization Plan outlining how the goal will be achieved. The contract term is not specified, but a previous 5-year contract with 5 renewal options was valued at an estimated $741,074,000.

The procurement includes required vendor certifications and disclosures, and the evaluation will consider technical factors in addition to pricing. No details are provided about any incumbent vendors or technology integration requirements. The contract is open to all qualified vendors, with no set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond.
