Defense Base Act (DBA) Insurance:

DBA insurance is required for all United States citizens or residents and individuals hired in the United States, regardless of citizenship for any construction and services for U. S. overseas contracts over US$3,500.00. DBA insurance is also required for all Host Country Nationals (HCNs) and Third Country Nationals (TCNs) working overseas unless waved by the Department of Labor (DOL). Only the countries listed currently on the DOL’s Active DBA Waivers are not required to have DBA insurance for Host Country Nationals (HCNs) and Third Country Nationals (TCNs). See website for country waivers: https://www.dol.gov/owcp/dlhwc/ dbawaivers/dbawaivers.htm). The waiver is only valid if alternative worker’s compensation benefits are provided to the waived employees pursuant to applicable local law. If there are no local worker’s compensation laws, the waiver has no effect and HCN and TCN (if applicable by local law) working under a U. S. contract shall be included and covered under the DBA.

The DBA insurance may be obtained from any authorized DBA insurance broker, see Sub- Section I.14, FAR 52.228-3 WORKER’S COMPENSATION INSURANCE (DEFENSE BASE ACT) (APR 1984). New DBA insurances policies can be purchased directly from any DOL approved insurance carrier. A list of DOL approved carriers may be found at http://www.dol.gov/owcp/dlhwc/ lscarrier.htm.

The Contractor will be reimbursed for DBA only to the extent the contractor provides documentary proof that DBA has been paid and only to the extent quoted in the Pricing Schedule.

DBA insurance cost will be evaluated as part of the total evaluated fixed price and included in the fixed price of the contract. Where DBA is applicable, the Contractor will be required to provide evidence of insurance (certification of coverage and a paid invoice) within 15 calendar days from the date of award.

Ukraine is currently included on the DOL’s active waiver list; therefore, DBA insurance is required only for employees performing work on this contract who are either citizens or residents of the USA, or are hired in the USA.
