About this opportunity

The State of New Jersey Department of the Treasury, Division of Purchase and Property is soliciting bids for comprehensive administrative services for two defined contribution retirement plans: the New Jersey State Employees Deferred Compensation Plan (NJSEDCP), a 457(b) governmental plan, and the New Jersey Defined Contribution Retirement Program (NJDCRP), a 401(a) plan. The selected vendor will provide turnkey recordkeeping and administration services, including participant account management, investment administration across 27 investment options, educational services, customer support, and employer-level services for approximately 41 remitting locations for the 457(b) plan and 750 active locations for the 401(a) plan. Required qualifications include over five years of experience administering bundled services for 401(a) and 457(b) plans, management of at least five defined contribution plans with a minimum of 50,000 participants, and ability to provide assets on a group contract basis. Key evaluation criteria will focus on technical capabilities, pricing structure, and service delivery model. The optional pre-quote conference is scheduled for December 23, 2025, at 10:30 AM Eastern Time, with electronic questions due by January 5, 2026, at 2:00 PM. Quotes are due February 20, 2026, at 2:00 PM, with a base contract term of five years and options to extend up to two additional years.

No small business or disabled veterans' business set-asides apply to this procurement. The incumbent contractor is Empower (formerly Prudential). The plans collectively serve 163,987 unique participants across 1,814 participant locations, with total assets of approximately $6.1 billion. Bidders must submit pricing on a fixed flat dollar-per-participant basis, including implementation, conversion, administration, recordkeeping, education, and trustee expenses. Revenue sharing from investments will be rebated to participants. The contract requires one dedicated on-site representative and ten full-time field service representatives. Insurance requirements include professional liability insurance of at least $2,000,000 per claim and cyber breach insurance of not less than $10,000,000 per occurrence. While no specific budget range is explicitly stated, the pricing structure and participant count suggest a significant annual contract value. All plan expenses are to be borne by participants, with the State seeking a single-source service provider to manage both retirement plans comprehensively.
