SHI Broker Administrator

The University of Arkansas, Fayetteville (UAF), through its Division of Student Affairs, has issued a sources-sought Request for Information (RFI) under solicitation number 10262026 to identify a student health insurance broker and administrator. The selected partner will act as a strategic advisor and operational partner for the Student Health Insurance Plan (SHIP), providing comprehensive services including insurance procurement, carrier negotiations, financial reporting, and compliance guidance. A critical requirement of the scope is the maintenance of an on-site student health insurance representative to collaborate with university staff and the Pat Walker Health Center. The scope of work emphasizes operational support for enrollment and waiver processes, the provision of technology platforms for eligibility and reporting, and the management of international student visa-related insurance requirements. Responses are due by October 30, 2026, at 5:00 p.m. CST via the HogBid portal. Because this is an RFI, no contract will be awarded directly from this process, and responses will not be reviewed on a competitive basis. Information submitted is exempt from the Freedom of Information Act under Arkansas Code until specific procurement triggers occur.
