About this file

This is a Standard Form 30 amendment extending the due date for a Defense Base Act (DBA) Rate Agreement solicitation issued by the Department of State.

The solicitation 19AQMM26Q0155, originally dated July 15, 2026, seeks to establish a contract for Workers' Compensation Insurance coverage under the Defense Base Act for all Department of State-managed contracts involving overseas performance. This is a no-cost, fixed-rate type contract with rates differentiated into four categories based on State Department travel advisory levels (Level 1 through Level 4). The contract will cover three employee categories: Services, Construction, and Security, with pricing calculated per $100 of employee salary. The base period is two years with three optional one-year periods. Rate adjustments are tied to loss ratio thresholds at specific measurement points, with multiple scenarios defined for each option period depending on whether prior options were exercised and loss ratios exceed established thresholds. The insurer must provide DBA insurance exclusively to all Department of State contractors, handle claims with reasonable standard of care, submit quarterly and annual reports detailing premiums, claims, and loss ratios, and indemnify the Government for negligent claim handling or improper WHCA reimbursement claims. Amendment 0002, effective June 9, 2026, extends the offer receipt deadline to August 31, 2026, at 1:00 PM Eastern Time. The contract incorporates standard FAR commercial item clauses, small business utilization requirements, and compliance with various federal regulations including equal opportunity, Buy American, and anti-trafficking provisions.

Section C - Scope of Work

C.1. PURPOSE:

The purpose of this award is to enter into a contract in which the contractor, hereafter referred to as the Insurer, will be the source of Workers’ Compensation Insurance as required by the Defense Base Act (DBA) for all DoS managed contracts.

Defense Base Act (42 U.S.C. 1651 “DBA”.) requires federal contractors and subcontractors working outside the continental United States to provide the equivalent of workers’ compensation insurance to their employees. The U.S. Government reimburses DBA insurance carriers for claims paid in connection with injuries or deaths from war hazards.

According to the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR 28.305), contracting officers must include DBA (workers’ compensation) insurance in each contract approved or financed under the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961, as amended (Public Law 87-195) unless the Secretary of Labor approves a waiver of coverage.

C.2. STATEMENT OF WORK:

Under all Department of State (DoS) managed contracts involving any overseas performance, the Insurer is required by law to provide overseas employees with insurance coverage pursuant to the Longshoremen's and Harbor Workers' Compensation Act (commonly called the "Defense Base Act" or DBA) (42 U.S.C. 1651 et seq.). DBA coverage applies to individuals employed under DoS contracts or subcontracts or subordinate contracts regardless of the duration of their assignment. Insurance coverage is required for employees of contractors (and their subcontractors) unless a waiver has been obtained from the U.S. Department of Labor. However, the waiver does not apply to any employee who is:

1. Hired in the United States;

2. A resident of the United States; or

3. A citizen of the United States.

All DoS contractors shall procure DBA Insurance through the Insurer (whether renewing coverage or obtaining new coverage) for every DoS funded contract. DoS contracts for services with individuals working outside the United States are also subject to DBA coverage. However, personal services contractors (PSCs) are exempt from Defense Base Act coverage. PSCs are covered by the Federal Employees Compensation Act.

DoS agrees to insert language into its contracts requiring eligible awardees under those instruments to procure DBA insurance exclusively from the Insurer.

The Insurer fully understands, acknowledges, accepts and agrees that the United States Government is not liable for any payments whatsoever to the contractor of the DoS award under, or related to, or as a result of, this Agreement, including breach thereof.

Document Number: 19AQMM26Q0155 PROCESSED Page 12 of 47

The Insurer also fully understands, acknowledges, accepts and agrees that the United States Government does not warrant the payment of insurance premiums (to the Insurer by eligible contractors that purchase DBA insurance from the Insurer).

No United States funds whatsoever are, or will be, obligated or expended by DoS under, or related to, or as a result of this Agreement, including breach thereof.

DoS does not make any representation as to the amount of premiums the Insurer will eventually collect from eligible contractors or the number of eligible contractors that will purchase insurance from the Insurer during the term of this Agreement.

DoS will not order coverage on behalf of, or for, any contractor or subcontractor.

C.3 CLAIMS HANDLING STANDARDS:

The Insurer shall handle all DBA claims arising under the policies issued pursuant to this Agreement with the reasonable standard of care. This includes, without limitation, the following:

• Timely acknowledgment, investigation, and adjudication of claims in accordance with LHWCA/DBA and applicable OWCP procedures;

• Appropriate and timely contesting of claims that lack merit or involve fraud, misrepresentation, or non-covered injuries;

• Avoidance of unreasonable claim payments, inflated settlements, or decisions that would increase DoS’s indirect exposure through WHCA reimbursement obligations; and

• Compliance with all OWCP reporting and filing deadlines.

C.4 WAIVERS:

Waivers from Defense Base Act can be requested from the District Director, U.S. Department of Labor, Longshore District Office 5, Norfolk at the following address:

U.S. Department of Labor

OWCP/DLHWC

Federal Building, Room 212 200 Granby Mall Norfolk, VA 23510 Phone: (757) 441-3071 Fax: (757) 441-6909 http://www.dol.gov/owcp/dlhwc/lscontac.htm Existing waivers can be found on the Department of Labor website.

C.5 GRANTS AND COOPERATIVE AGREEMENTS:

DBA coverage is not required for grants and cooperative agreements. However, DBA coverage is required for contracts awarded under grants and cooperative agreements. Though DoS cannot compel recipients of grants and cooperative agreements to purchase DBA coverage, DoS encourages recipients of grants and cooperative agreements to purchase DBA coverage. The Insurer will provide DBA coverage to recipients at the same rates as provided to DoS contractors.

C. 6 SUBCONTRACTORS:

Insurance policies sold by the Insurer shall contain a provision that subcontractors at any tier of the DoS contractor under the same DoS contract shall be covered by the policy if those subcontractors have been scheduled on the policy, at issuance or later by endorsement, and for whom premiums have been paid.

C.7 MINIMUM PREMIUM:

The Insurer shall not assess minimum premiums. Insurer will apply the agreed upon rates regardless of number of employees on policy.

C.8 FIXED RATES:

The Insurer shall sell policies to eligible contractors at rates no higher than the fixed rates established under Section B.4 of this Contract.

C.9 WAR HAZARDS COMPENSATION ACT (WHCA):

The War Hazards Compensation Act (WHCA) completes the protection provided to Government contractors' employees and certain other selected employees performing work outside the United States. All liability for injury, death and detention benefits under the WHCA is assumed by the Federal Government and is paid from the Employees' Compensation Fund established by 5 U.S.C. 8147.

Under Section 104 of the WHCA, an insurance carrier, self-insured employer, or a compensation fund may claim reimbursement from the Employees' Compensation Fund for benefits paid on cases approved under the Defense Base Act (DBA) if it can be shown that the injury or death was due to a war-risk hazard.

The U.S. Government assumes all liability for injury or death that results from a war-risk hazard. A claim for reimbursement filed by the Insurer will be denied if it is found that the benefits paid or payable were on account of injury, detention or death which arose from a war-risk hazard for which a premium (which included an additional charge or loading for such hazard) was charged; or where the Insurer has been reimbursed, paid, or compensated for the loss for which reimbursement is claimed.

The Insurer agrees and certifies that the rates in this contract are not loaded for war risk hazards or claim administration related to war-risk hazards.

C.10 Indemnification for Carrier Negligence or Misconduct:

C.10.1. The Insurer shall indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the Department of State, its officers employees, and agents from and against any losses, costs, penalties, or damages (including reasonable attorney fees) incurred by DOS that arise from:

• The Insurer’s negligent or wrongful handling of any DBA claim arising under a policy issued pursuant to this Agreement;

• The Insurer’s failure to contest a claim that a reasonable, experienced DBA insurer would have contested, resulting in an improper WHCA reimbursement obligation;

• The Insurer’s submission of a WHCA reimbursement claim that is inaccurate, inflated, or not properly attributable to a war-risk hazard;

• The Insurer’s failure to maintain required insurance or financial security is required; or

• The Insurer’s material breach of any provision of this Agreement.

C.10.2. Exclusions. This indemnification does not extend to: a) DBA benefits lawfully paid by the Insurer on behalf of a covered contractor pursuant to a valid claim; (b) WHCA reimbursement obligations arising from a properly documented war-risk hazard claim; or (c) losses attributable to the Department’s own acts or omissions.
