UNG - Athletic Supplemental Insurance

The University of North Georgia is seeking a qualified vendor to provide Supplemental Accident Insurance coverage for all student athletes, athletic training students, and student managers under a one-year contract with four optional one-year renewal periods, commencing July 1, 2026. The procurement is conducted through an electronic Request for Quotes under Georgia’s State Purchasing Act, with all services required to be performed within the state and coverage effective for UNG campuses in Georgia. Vendors must hold a valid Georgia insurance license, demonstrate a minimum of five years of experience handling special risk student claims, and maintain an AM Best financial rating of A- or higher. The insurance policy must ensure claims are paid within 10 to 30 days, with no processing fees charged to the university, and full compliance with Georgia’s standard contract terms, tax regulations, and E-Verify requirements for employees. Proposals must be submitted electronically via the Team Georgia Marketplace™ portal by June 5, 2026, and include mandatory attachments such as a completed Cost Worksheet, three verified references, proof of licensure and AM Best rating, a tax compliance form, and affidavits related to trade secrets and contractor status. Georgia-resident businesses are afforded preferential treatment under state law, and bidders must disclose ownership status for minority, women, and veteran-owned business certifications. The solicitation prohibits any organizational conflicts of interest, requires a certificate of non-collusion, and mandates adherence to state statutes including O.C.G.A. §13-10-91 and §50-5-84, the latter of which restricts participation by entities doing business in Sudan. Award will be based on technical compliance and cost, though the precise evaluation methodology and weightings are not publicly detailed. The contract does not guarantee funding or volume, and renewals are at the sole discretion of the university. Primary point of contact for inquiries is Milton Hansen of UNG, with all communications required to be conducted through the designated eRFQ portal.
