1) Q: We would like to know if this is a brand new contract OR if there is (was) an incumbent performing these services? If not brand new, could you please provide the current / previous contract number?
A: The current contract number is N0018921D0014. The incumbent is Onesimus Defense LLC.
2) Q: We have a question regarding insurance requirements for this contract. Currently we carry Foreign Liability Policy with a $1,000,000 limit of liability (for work outside of Canada, CONUS and Puerto Rico). Will the awarded company for this solicitation be required to carry Defense Base Act Coverage and if so for what amount and does this amount vary per base?
A: Yes, DBA insurance is required for this requirement. Failure to have DBA will result in fines and possible loss of contract. The additional and most severe penalty is that employers without DBA coverage are subject to suits under common law, wherein common law defenses are waived. DBA provides disability compensation and medical benefits to employees and death benefits to eligible survivors of employees of U.S. government contractors who perform work overseas. Compensation benefits are two‐thirds of an employee's average weekly wage (AWW), up to a maximum rate per week. The contractor will have to discuss with their insurance carriers, premiums are not set by, nor regulated by the Department of Labor. Insurance carriers set the rates independently. Additionally, the Contracting Officer cannot provide legal advice as to whether your specific policy meets the requirements of the DBA. General information about the DBA and its requirements can be found at the DOL’s website at:
https://www.dol.gov/agencies/owcp/dlhwc/lsdba. FAR 52.228‐3 and 52.228‐5 have been incorporated into the solicitation. See amendment 0001.
3) Q: In Section 1.6.16 It indicates that course materials, training aids and instructional materials need to be shipped in advance. In Order to avoid loss of materials we always travel with the student manuals and the training aids are loaded onto our instructors IPads or Laptops.
Would it be acceptable to bring these with us vs shipping them in advance?
A: Please see amendment 0002, Performance Work Statement Rev 1.
