Specifications include, but are not limited to: The State of Tennessee, Department of Finance and Administration, Division of Benefits Administration (“State”) issues this Request for Information (“RFI”) for the purpose of soliciting information on software applications and the companies which offer software applications that provide comprehensive benefits administration solutions. The State is interested in receiving information from companies with experience providing these services to large organizations who manage the benefits for a group of separate employers. The State manages benefits for three self-insured risk pools serving state, higher education, local education and local government employees, retirees, and their dependents. For the hundreds of public sector local agencies that participate, the State acts like an insurance company. Therefore, experience serving insurance companies or other similarly structured clients is desirable. We appreciate your input and participation in this process. The State is conducting a study of these options. This market research is not a competition. No evaluation of participating vendors will occur, and your participation is not a promise of future business with the State. Responding or not responding to the RFI does not preclude the Vendor from submitting a proposal to any future solicitations/requests for proposals issued by the State. The State is NOT requesting specific pricing for any components or services addressed in this RFI. Instead, the State is seeking price ranges and structures for programs in order to determine approximately, what these types of programs sought by the State will cost. Do NOT provide specific pricing amounts in response to this RFI. Should responses from this RFI generate additional questions from the State all vendors responding to this request will receive the additional questions.
