The U.S. Embassy Vientiane is conducting market research to identify qualified companies to provide group health insurance for Locally Employed Staff and eligible dependents, covering approximately 280 employees, 225 spouses, and 650 children. Coverage must include hospitals and medical facilities in Laos and Thailand. The anticipated contract, if a future solicitation is issued, would have a one-year base period with four one-year option periods, with award expected in late 2027. Performance is centered on the U.S. Embassy Vientiane, with required coverage across Laos and Thailand. Interested companies are asked to submit a white paper addressing plan options, coverage limits, provider networks, and related insurance capabilities.
