RFQ: Employee Benefits (Dental)The California State University (CSU) is issuing a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) to identify qualified dental benefit providers capable of participating in a future Request for Proposal (RFP) for statewide dental coverage. This RFQ is strictly an evaluation of respondents’ qualifications, operational capabilities, provider networks, financial stability, and technical resources, and is not a solicitation for pricing or a commitment to award a contract. The CSU system serves approximately 67,000 eligible employees and retirees across 22 campuses, with benefits administered by the Office of the Chancellor in Long Beach. Employees are divided into five categories, with represented staff covered by thirteen collective bargaining units, and dental coverage is determined through either collective bargaining agreements or Board of Trustees resolutions. Current dental benefits are provided exclusively by Delta Dental of California under fully insured, experience-rated PPO and HMO plans, with active employee and retiree plans currently noncontributory. Respondents must demonstrate the ability to integrate with the State Controller’s Office and CalPERS for premium payment processing via electronic payroll deduction files, and failure to comply with these integration requirements will result in disqualification. All qualified respondents will be granted access to confidential procurement information and may be invited to respond to the subsequent RFP, though qualification does not guarantee selection or award. Submission deadlines for qualifications are firm, with responses due by July 10, 2026, and submissions must be made exclusively through the CSUBUY portal; no other information or communication regarding this RFQ will be provided outside this platform. Respondents must be prepared to meet additional contractual obligations that will be detailed in the upcoming RFP, including compliance with state-specific data handling and administrative requirements. While the RFQ does not include pricing terms or detailed specifications beyond the integration mandates with SCO and CalPERS, future contract performance will require adherence to state procurement protocols, including proper invoicing, contractual reporting, and coordination with state payment systems. The contract will involve managing eligibility tiers for both active employees and retirees, accommodating the FlexCash option for employees with alternative dental coverage, and maintaining systems capable of handling premium calculations and disbursements based on specific plan codes. Providers must also be prepared to comply with mandatory insurance, security, confidentiality, and data return provisions that will be formalized in the subsequent solicitation, including obligations around lawful employment status, intellectual property indemnification, and response protocols for legal requests involving state data. The CSU reserves broad discretion to modify, postpone, cancel, or reissue the RFQ, qualify or
