Vendors MUST SECURE Defense Base Act (DBA) Insurance after award of contract. All DBA insurance information can be determined and acquired using the U.S. Department of Labor website. DBA is a 100% mandated requirement for all services outside of the U.S. that does not have a current waiver on file with the U.S. Department of Labor. The country of Brazil 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.

(d) (1)-(3) (e)(1), and (2)

FAR 52.217-8, Option to Extend Services (NOV 1999)

(b) Options. The Government will evaluate offers for award purposes by adding the total price for all options to the total price for the basic requirement. The Government may determine that an offer is unacceptable if the option prices are significantly, mathematically, or materially unbalanced. Evaluation of options shall not obligate the Government to exercise the option(s). As part of price evaluation, the government will evaluate its option to extend services (see FAR Clause 52.217-8) by adding one-half of the offeror's final option period prices to the offeror's total price. Thus, the offeror's total price for the purpose of evaluation will include the base contract plus the option period. As indicated in FAR 52.217-8 the government will have the option provision to extend the performance of the contract up to an additional 30 days when the contractor is provided written notice 3 days before the end of the Period of Performance.

AMC Level Protest

If you have complaints about this procurement, it is preferable that you first attempt to resolve those concerns with the responsible contracting officer. However, you can also protest to Headquarters, AMC. The HQ, AMC-Level Protest Program is intended to encourage interested parties to seek resolution of their concerns within AMC as an Alternative Dispute Resolution forum, rather than filing a protest with the General Accounting Office or other external forum. Contract award or performance is suspended during the protest to the same extent, and within the same time periods, as if filed at the GAO. The AMC protest decision goal is to resolve protests within 20 working days from filing. To be timely, protests must be filed within the periods specified in FAR 33.103. Send protests (other than protests to the contracting officer) to:

Headquarters, U.S. Army Materiel Command Office of Command Counsel-Deputy Command Counsel 4400 Martin Road Rm: A6SE040.001 Redstone Arsenal, AL 35898-5000 Fax number: (256)450-8840 Email:usarmy.redstone.usamc.mbx.protests@army.mil
