NOTE: The Defense Base Act (DBA) and the Longshore and Harbor Workers' Compensation Act, implemented through FAR Part 28, mandate that all United States government contractors and subcontractors at all tiers must obtain workers' compensation insurance for their employees working overseas, with certain exceptions not applicable here. The United States Department of Labor administers the DBA, ensuring that employers provide workers' compensation benefits for covered employees. The contractor must submit proof of a valid DBA insurance policy for the prime and their subcontractors at every tier prior to performance of the contract. It is the
SPM300-11-R-0005 Page 8 of 240 responsibility of the contractor to obtain and maintain such insurance during the entire performance period of the contract. Failure by the contractor or its subcontractors to comply with the provisions of the DBA may subject the contractor to extensive civil liability and criminal penalties. Detailed information on the requirements of the DBA and Longshore and Harbor Workers' Compensation Acts is available at http://www.dol.gov/esa/owcp/dlhwc/lsdba.htm. Any further questions should be directed to the Department of Labor, your legal advisor or a DBA insurance carrier.
NOTE: All cost associated with workers’ compensation insurance as related to the Defense Base Act (DBA) and the Longshore and Harbor Workers Compensation Act shall be allocated within the normal distribution price.

To remain registered in the CCR database after the initial registration, the Contractor is required to review and update on an annual basis from the date of initial registration or subsequent updates its information in the CCR database to ensure it is current, accurate and complete. Updating information in the CCR does not alter the terms and conditions of this contract and is not a substitute for a properly executed contractual document.
(2)
(i) If a Contractor has legally changed its business name, “doing business as” name, or division name (whichever is shown on the contract), or has transferred the assets used in performing the contract, but has not completed the necessary requirements regarding novation and change-of-name agreements in Subpart 42.12, the Contractor shall provide the responsible Contracting Officer a minimum of one business day’s written notification of its intention to:
(A) Change the name in the CCR database;

(ii) If the Contractor fails to comply with the requirements of paragraph (t)(2)(i) of this clause, or fails to perform the agreement at paragraph (t)(2)(i)(C) of this clause, and, in the absence of a properly executed novation or change-of-name agreement, the CCR information that shows the Contractor to be other than the Contractor indicated in the contract will be considered to be incorrect information within the meaning of the “Suspension of Payment” paragraph of the electronic funds transfer (EFT) clause of this contract.
(3) The Contractor shall not change the name or address for EFT payments or manual payments, as appropriate, in the CCR record to reflect an assignee for the purpose of assignment of claims (see FAR Subpart 32.8, Assignment of Claims).
Assignees shall be separately registered in the CCR database. Information provided to the Contractor’s CCR record that indicates payments, including those made by EFT, to an ultimate recipient other than that Contractor will be considered to be incorrect information within the meaning of the “Suspension of payment” paragraph of the EFT clause of this contract.
(4) Offerors and Contractors may obtain information on registration and annual confirmation requirements via the Internet at http://www.ccr.gov or by calling 1- 888-227-2423, or 269-961-5757.
