About the Bureau of Risk and Insurance Management

New York State (NYS) as a whole is self-retained and does not purchase insurance for any State-owned risks. NYS Office of General Services (OGS) Bureau of Risk and Insurance Management (BRIM) assists NYS Executive Agency customers in the procurement of insurance policies when coverage is contractually required. BRIM also places insurance for State Authorities and Public Benefit Corporations when requested. In addition to assisting State entities with the procurement of insurance policies, BRIM is also responsible for providing recommendations on insurance requirements to be used in State contracts and for reviewing the contractor's proof of insurance to confirm it meets those requirements throughout the contract term.
