Specific service requirements encompass detailed placement activities such as analysis, selection, establishment, and renewal of benefits, as well as extensive administrative services including claims handling, regulatory compliance with ACA requirements, annual employee meetings, policy and rate reviews, and ongoing employee assistance with coverage questions. The solicitation was initially posted on October 12, 2022, with a firm proposal submission deadline of October 19, 2022, at 3:00 PM EDT.
