Stop-loss Services

The City of Alexandria, Virginia is issuing a Request for Proposals (RFP) to procure professional services for stop-loss insurance coverage applicable to the City's self-funded health care and pharmacy benefit plans serving employees and retirees. The procurement seeks qualified and responsible offerors capable of providing additional medical and prescription stop-loss services that will complement the existing self-funded benefit structure. The primary objective is to mitigate financial risk by obtaining stop-loss coverage that protects against catastrophic claims and unexpected expenditures within the health care and pharmacy programs. Key deliverables include the design and implementation of stop-loss policy terms, claims management support, and ongoing administrative services to manage covered losses. The RFP was posted on March 26, 2026, with a proposal due date of May 7, 2026, providing interested vendors approximately six weeks to prepare and submit their proposals.

The RFP documentation provided does not specify set-aside designations, restrictions on respondent types, disadvantaged enterprise requirements, incumbent vendor information, or award values and budget ranges. Prospective vendors should review the complete RFP solicitation documents, which will contain detailed specifications regarding evaluation criteria, minimum qualifications, required insurance and bonding, technical requirements for integration with existing systems, and any preferences for certified minority or women-owned businesses. Organizations interested in responding should obtain the full RFP package from the City of Alexandria's procurement office to ensure compliance with all submission requirements and to understand the complete scope of work, performance standards, and contract terms governing this stop-loss services engagement.
