LES Health Insurance Contract 2026

The Department of State seeks proposals from qualified health‑insurance providers to furnish group health coverage for its employees. Offerors must submit a two‑part response: Part 1 – a table listing each Section C minimum‑benefit definition alongside the proposed coverage (additional or higher benefits are permitted, but proposals that fall below the minimum are technically unacceptable); Part 2 – a narrative demonstrating understanding of the requirement, including corporate literature, plan brochures, and descriptions of internal systems, as well as the offeror’s experience providing health insurance to employee groups, overall management approach, and details of the employee pool (size, composition, and alternative pools for economic price‑adjustment scenarios). Separate proposals with pricing must be submitted for each distinct plan that meets or exceeds the minimum benefits. Proposals must be delivered electronically to kigaligsoprocurementrequest@state.gov by 4:00 p.m. local time on 18 May 2026 and must include a third‑party‑certified financial statement package (income statement for the past five years, balance sheet, and recent cash‑flow statement) to establish financial responsibility. Evaluation will occur in two phases—technical compliance with the minimum benefit and management requirements, followed by price evaluation of the total evaluated price (base year plus all option years, excluding rider pricing). The solicitation is a negotiated RFP, a rated order under DPAS, and incorporates standard FAR clauses (e.g., 52.203‑11, 52.203‑18, 52.204‑3). Offerors should register in SAM and address any competition concerns to the Department of State Advocate for Competition as indicated.
