MDL FAMLI - RFP - Financial Management and Accounting Support

The Maryland Department of Labor (MDOL) Family and Medical Leave Insurance Division (FAMLI) is issuing a Request for Proposals (RFP) to secure financial management and accounting support services. The selected contractor will provide a four-phased scope of services over a base period of three years with one optional renewal year. Key deliverables include an implementation project plan, establishment of accounting and financial management processes, and ongoing support for the stabilization and long-term operation of FAMLI's financial functions. Services must support FAMLI's goal of starting employer premium collections by October 2025 and commencing benefit payments by July 2026. The RFP seeks a firm fixed price contract and does not allow for travel reimbursement. Proposals are due by June 3, 2024.

The RFP includes Minority Business Enterprise (MBE) and Veteran-Owned Small Business Enterprise (VSBE) participation goals of 20% and 5% respectively. It does not identify any incumbent contractors, but notes that the FAMLI program will be funded through mandatory employer premium contributions that are expected to reach or exceed $2 billion annually. The RFP does not specify any federal funding sources for this procurement.
