The offeror shall clearly identify and state the currency for all costs in their price proposal. After award, the Contractor shall invoice in and payment will be made according to the currency identified in the offeror’s proposal, unless otherwise specified by the Contracting Officer.

C. VALUE ADDED TAX (VAT)

Contractors shall be responsible, wherever applicable, to pay the appropriate rate of Value Added Tax, as required for all taxable goods and services. Offerors shall identify Value Added Tax (VAT) as a separate line item in Section I.

German Contractors (Operating from a business address within the country of Germany):

• The Contractor will be reimbursed for VAT only to the extent that the contractor provides documentary proof that VAT has been paid to the host government against a valid Country of Germany VAT registration number.

International non-Country of Germany Contractors:

• The Contractor will be reimbursed for VAT only to the extent contractor provides documentary proof that VAT payments have been made to either the host government and/or suppliers/subcontractors.

Any refund of VAT to the Contractor shall be paid to the Government to the extent the Government reimbursed the contractor for the VAT payment.

Value Added Tax shall also be reflected as a separate cost item on all invoices submitted under the resulting contract.

Value Added Tax is a Price Evaluation Factor. See also Section 4, Basis for Contract Award.

D. 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$10,000.00. 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 https://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 price and included in the 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.

Germany 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 through the period of one base year and four option year periods (if exercised).

E. General Liability Insurance

The general liability policy required of the Contractor shall name “the United States of America” as additional insured. The general liability insurance shall be as required by law or as ordinarily obtained in the location of the work. The limit of such insurance shall be as provided by law or sufficient to meet normal and customary claims. The Contractor agrees that the Government shall not be responsible for personal injuries or for damages to Government’s property in Contractor’s custody, any property of the Contractor, its officers, agents, servants, and employees, or any other person, arising from, and incident to, the Contractor's performance of the work detailed herein. The Contractor shall hold harmless and indemnify the Government from any and all claims arising therefrom, except in the instance of gross negligence on the part of the Government.
