Its the way BISD has done business for years...and? the way most RFP's are dealt with in the city and county. Usually selection committees are made up of persons who either benefit from the contract or represent someone who will benefit.

Control of data allows early release to the market prior to the official RFP release to competitors. This power to control the markets in a "competitive" RFP process is a common practice in the insurance industry. Hidalgo and Webb county has experienced this in the past, even made the Laredo paper some years ago. It has happened more recently at BISD on the voluntary disability plan that was bid out a year or so ago. A local insurance agent in Brownsville voiced his concerns about this to administration but nothing ever came of it. He showed date stamps of the underwriters showing early release of the data prior to the RFP letting. All carriers date stamp incoming requests so it is easy to document all of this.
