The country of Peru does not have a waiver for DBA insurance. DBA is essentially a form of workman’s compensation to ensure all workers are covered in case of an accident during performance of a service contract and is mandatory for all service contracts. DBA Insurance is treated as a Not-to-Exceed Line Item (CLIN), not a Fixed Price CLIN, and the associated costs are fully reimbursable at contract payment. DBA insurance is not considered in the evaluated price for each quotation. Insurance must be presented to contracting officer no later than 7 days after contract award, or the contract will be at risk of termination. Vendors MUST submit a DBA quote with combined solicitation to be considered for award. DBA Insurance must be from an approved source https://www.dol.gov/agencies/owcp/dlhwc/lscarrier
