About this opportunity
The Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP) is seeking to contract with Special Markets Insurance Consultants, Inc. (SMIC) to provide healthcare coverage for 65 AmeriCorps members serving under the Florida Conservation Corps (FLCC) program. SMIC is the only company authorized by The Corps Network (TCN) to provide the health insurance plan that meets the requirements of the AmeriCorps Provisions. The coverage must include physician services, hospital care, emergency room, prescription drugs, and mental/substance abuse treatment, and be provided for a 12-month period. Prospective vendors must provide relevant information by June 5, 2023 at 3:00 PM ET. The estimated value of the contract is $183,000 for FY 2023-2024, with a monthly rate of $416.65 per member. The FDEP must utilize this single-source procurement as AmeriCorps members are not considered state employees, and the Department of Management Services was unable to procure the required healthcare coverage previously.
SMIC provides the eligibility, billing, and premium collection services, as well as the enrollment portal, while the medical/prescription coverage is administered by Cigna. This procurement is limited to SMIC as the sole-source vendor authorized by TCN to provide the required healthcare plan for AmeriCorps members. The contract is valued at approximately $183,000 for the 12-month period, with a monthly rate of $416.65 per member. There are no set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond, as SMIC is the only eligible vendor.
Opportunity text
The Department of Environmental Protection (Department) desires to contract with the Special Markets Insurance Consultants, Inc. (SMIC) to provide healthcare to The Corps Network (TCN) AmeriCorps members as required by the Florida Conservation Corps and AmeriCorps Program through The Corps Network. Special Markets Insurance Consultants, Inc. (SMIC) is the only company TCN authorizes to provide the health insurance coverage that meets the requirements of the AmeriCorps Provisions and contracted to provide this service. AmeriCorps members are not employees of the state per the National and Community Service Act of 1990, as amended, through 1999, 42 USC Section 101.12511. The Corps Network Health Plan is an Affordable Care Act and Minimum Essential Coverage compliant health insurance plan for AmeriCorps members that serve under TCN member organizations. The plan was created out of a request from member Corps for a healthcare plan that met their bottom-line, the needs of their Corps members, and the rules and regulations of AmeriCorps. TCN's Health Plan provides Corp members both comprehensive, and affordable medical, dental and vision insurance. (https://corpsnetwork.org/health-insurance/).
