HEALTH INSURANCE SERVICES SOLICITATION

The United States Embassy in Freetown, Sierra Leone seeks a contractor to provide comprehensive health‑insurance services for approximately 300 locally hired employees and up to 1,200 eligible dependents. Offerors must meet the minimum benefit levels set forth in Section C (with the option to exceed them) and must submit a separate proposal for each distinct plan they wish to offer, including individual pricing. Technical proposals are divided into four parts: (1) detailed coverage tables for each required benefit, (2) a narrative demonstrating understanding of the solicitation and the contractor’s internal systems (e.g., corporate literature, plan brochures, customer‑service processes, and recent satisfaction survey results), (3) past performance documentation for similar insurance contracts over the past three years, and (4) any additional required information such as employee‑pool descriptions, financial statements, and certifications. All offerors must be registered in SAM at the time of submission, submit electronically to ContractFreetown state.gov in MS‑Word/Excel 2007‑2010 or PDF format (≤30 MB per file), and provide all required certifications and clauses referenced in the solicitation. The contract will be a requirements‑type award with fixed‑price terms and an economic‑price‑adjustment clause, covering a one‑year base period with four one‑year options. Evaluation will occur in two phases—technical acceptability (including compliance with minimum benefits, employee‑pool description, and customer‑service capabilities) followed by price evaluation of the total evaluated price (base year plus options, excluding rider pricing). Proposals that reduce any minimum benefit or fail to meet the submission requirements will be deemed technically unacceptable.
