Insurance Consulting and Brokerage Services

Hillsborough County is soliciting competitive sealed proposals under RFP-26-00369 for experienced contractors to provide insurance consulting and brokerage services. The contract is estimated at 1,000,000 dollars for a five-year period of performance within the state of Florida. Proposals were posted on August 12, 2026, with a response deadline of August 26, 2026. The scope of work emphasizes strict compliance with HIPAA Privacy and Security Rules, the HITECH Act, and Florida state data security statutes. Contractors acting as Business Associates must implement administrative, technical, and physical safeguards for Protected Health Information, reporting security incidents within 24 hours and unauthorized disclosures within two business days. Mandatory submission requirements include a Drug-Free Workplace certification and an affidavit confirming no business involvement with designated foreign countries of concern, the latter of which is a pass-fail criterion for disqualification. Additionally, a subcontracting commitment of at least 10 percent from Small Business Enterprises is required. Award is likely based on a best-value trade-off process considering experience and technical qualifications.
