Property Field Adjuster Services, General Liability and Auto Liability Field Adj

The New Jersey Schools Insurance Group (NJSIG) is seeking supplemental field adjuster and auto physical damage appraisal services through Request for Proposal NJSIG-2024-009, targeting providers of property field adjuster services, general liability and auto liability field investigation services, and auto physical damage appraisal services for Burlington County. The procurement aims to expand NJSIG's existing panel of service providers, with organizations assisting in claims investigations, documentation, and evaluation across property, general liability, auto liability, and auto physical damage claims lines. Proposers must submit all-inclusive hourly rate proposals for three, four, and five-year contract terms, with a comprehensive evaluation process that considers technical criteria (35%), management criteria (35%), and cost criteria (30%). Key evaluation factors include understanding of scope, responsiveness to RFP requirements, past performance, innovative approaches, and compliance with affirmative action and anti-discrimination requirements. Critical dates include questions due by December 16, 2024, answers posted by December 23, 2024, and proposals due on January 14, 2025, at 10:00 A.M. ET, with the NJSIG Board of Trustees anticipated to approve the contract on January 29, 2025.

The RFP explicitly instructs organizations previously awarded contracts under a prior solicitation (NJSIG-2024-008) not to submit proposals for this supplemental opportunity. NJSIG maintains significant flexibility in the procurement, reserving the right to award contracts to one or more organizations based on their comprehensive proposal evaluation. No specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises are explicitly mentioned in the available documentation. The agency does not guarantee a minimum or maximum volume of work, suggesting potential variability in contract performance and compensation. While specific budget ranges are not detailed, the all-inclusive hourly rate structure indicates that compensation will be tied directly to services rendered. The procurement appears designed to create a flexible, supplemental panel of field adjuster and appraisal service providers capable of supporting NJSIG's self-administered claims process across multiple insurance lines.
