Stop Loss Insurance

Fort Bend Independent School District (FBISD) has issued Request for Proposal (RFP) 26-023KB for Stop Loss Insurance services, seeking qualified vendors to provide comprehensive insurance coverage. The procurement is specifically targeting stop loss insurance, which typically provides financial protection for self-insured organizations against catastrophic medical claims. Vendors must submit their proposals electronically through the Bonfire Electronic Bidding System at https://fortbendisd.bonfirehub.com by Tuesday, October 21, 2025, at 10:00 AM CST. Interested parties are required to watch the Bonfire Registration & Submittal Video to understand the submission process and are advised to regularly check the platform for potential addendums or announcements. For any questions or clarifications, vendors are instructed to contact Kathleen Booker, Senior Buyer, via email at kathleen.booker@fortbendisd.gov. While specific evaluation criteria are not detailed in the initial RFP document, vendors can expect standard insurance procurement assessments focusing on coverage terms, financial stability, claims processing capabilities, and pricing competitiveness.

The RFP does not explicitly mention set-aside designations or specific restrictions on responding organizations. No information is provided about incumbent vendors, current contractors, or existing insurance infrastructure that might require integration. Similarly, the document does not outline specific budget ranges or potential award values for the stop loss insurance contract. Potential vendors should be prepared to demonstrate comprehensive stop loss insurance capabilities, financial strength, and experience working with educational institutions. Given that this is a school district procurement, vendors will likely need to show expertise in managing complex insurance portfolios specific to educational entity risk profiles. Additional details about vendor qualifications, precise coverage requirements, and contract specifics may be available in the full RFP documentation accessible through the Bonfire Electronic Bidding System.
