How to bid on PSAL athletic insurance for NYC Department of Education
What NYC Public Schools is buying
NYC Public Schools, on behalf of the Public Schools Athletic League, seeks proposals for a requirements contract covering accident, medical, and dental insurance, plus related claims administration for eligible participants in PSAL-sponsored interscholastic sports.
The contract has a three-year term, with NYC Public Schools holding the option to extend it for up to two additional one-year periods. The RFP says the agency is seeking these services because it lacks the resources or in-house expertise to provide them.
Deadline and what to do before it
Proposals are due December 9, 2026, at 4:00 PM ET. Follow the RFP’s submission directions and submit before the deadline.
The RFP says a three- or five-member evaluation committee will review proposals using the criteria listed in the solicitation. The committee’s size will depend on the number of responses and the DOE’s best interest.
Who this opportunity suits
This RFP is aimed at qualified insurance carriers, agencies, brokers, and authorized third-party administrators with relevant capacity to provide accident, medical, and dental coverage and claims services.
The program is limited to eligible student athletes and authorized participants in approved PSAL-sponsored interscholastic athletic activities.
