Affordable Care Act (ACA) Consulting Services

In March 2010, the Affordable Care Act (ACA) was signed into law. Accordingly, the lnternal Revenue Code (JRC) § 4980H - Employer Mandate requires that large employers with 50 employees or more offer health coverage to full-time employees (i.e., those working an average of 30 hours or more per week) and provide them with a Form 1095-C to be used when filing their personal tax returns. In addition, employers must file Form 1094-C to the IRS providing the names and other identifying information of full-time employees to whom coverage was offered.

The City University of New York's Central Office of Human Resources Management seeks a Contractor/Consultant to assist CUNY in its requirements to comply with the above-listed code. The Contractor shall create and distribute Form 1095-C to the University’s eligible employees and file the applicable 1094-C with the IRS to comply with the provisions set forth under the ACA for calendar years 2025-2027 in accordance with the Scope of Work.

The Procurement Lobbying Act (PLA) Applies to this Solicitation.
