Description
The Maryland Workers’ Compensation Commission (WCC) is issuing a Task Order Request for Proposals (TORFP) to audit the validity and accuracy of claim payments, case‑reserve estimates, and IC‑1 (Annual Information Report) data submitted by selected self‑insured employers. Only Small Business Reserve (SBR) master contractors that already hold the Audit Services Master Contract (2020‑2025) may submit a double‑envelope proposal through the state’s eMMA system. The audit will cover approximately 20 self‑insured entities across multiple states, requiring on‑site or remote access to claim files, payroll records, and internal controls. Deliverables include a detailed work plan, draft and final audit reports, an internal‑control report, a compliance report, and up to eight stakeholder presentations. The contract period is eight months from the Notice‑to‑Proceed, with a Not‑To‑Exceed (NTE) ceiling that must be monitored throughout the engagement.
• Scope: Verify claim payment accuracy, reserve estimates, and IC‑1 reporting for ~20 self‑insured employers.
• Eligible bidders: SBR master contractors holding the existing Audit Services Master Contract (001B1600067).
• Submission: Double‑envelope proposal via eMMA; pre‑bid conference (Nov 2 2026) optional.
• Timeline: Issue Oct 19 2026 → Pre‑bid conference Nov 2 2026 → Proposal due Nov 18 2026 → 8‑month performance period.
• Deliverables: Work plan, draft/final audit reports, internal‑control & compliance reports, executive summary, up to 8 presentations.
• Location: Primarily virtual access to employer/TPA sites; on‑site visits allowed if remote access unavailable.
• Evaluation: Price and technical criteria; award to the most advantageous SBR master contractor.
