Document Number: 19GE5025R0079 PROCESSED Page 11 of 17
Value Added Tax (VAT) is not included in the CLIN rates. Instead, it will be priced as a separate Line Item in the contract and on Invoices. Local law dictates the portion of the contract price that is subject to VAT; this percentage is multiplied only against that portion. It is reflected for each performance period. The portions of the solicitation subject to VAT are Sections 1.3 (Base Year) thru Section 1.7 (Option Year 4).
B.3 Defense Base Act (DBA) Insurance
The Department of Labor has waived the DBA insurance for the countries in paragraph (b) of this subsection.
United States citizens or residents and individuals hired in the United States, regardless of citizenship shall be required to obtain DBA insurance. Evidence of DBA insurance shall be submitted within 15 days of award.
The DBA Insurance shall be obtained from any U.S. Department of Labor (DOL) authorized DBA insurance broker. A list of DOL-authorized insurance brokers is available at the following address: http://www.dol.gov/ owcp/dlhwc/lscarrier.htm. DBA insurance cost will be evaluated as part of the total evaluated firm fixed price and included in the firm fixed price of the task order. The Contractor shall be reimbursed for the cost of DBA insurance only upon providing proof of payment.
The DOL has waived DBA insurance for the following countries of performance under this contract: https:// www.dol.gov/owcp/dlhwc/dbawaivers/dbawaivers.htm:
Belgium is listed on the DOL Active DBA Waiver list and therefore DBA insurance for Host Country Nationals (HCNs) and Third Country Nationals (TCNs), performing under this contract is not required. However, DBA Insurance for U.S. citizens and individuals hired in the United States (regardless of citizenship) performing under this contract is required.
The Contractor will be reimbursed for DBA insurance only to the extent the contractor provides documentary proof that DBA insurance has been paid and only to the extent quoted in CLIN 0002.
