WORKERS COMPENSATION INSURANCE (DEFENSE BASE ACT) – COUNTRIES WITH

WAIVERS

(a) This clause supplements FAR Clause 52.228-3. The Department of Labor has waived application of the Defense Base Act (DBA) for performance of work by employees other than U.S. citizens and employees recruited in the U.S. in any country listed at the US Department of Labor website here: https://www.dol.gov/owcp/dlhwc/dbawaivers/dbawaivers.htm

The Department of Labor (DOL) has approved multiple insurance carriers which promote a competitive market environment. Therefore, contractors shall obtain commercially available DBA insurance from a DOL authorized insurance carrier unless the contractor is under a self insurance program approved by the DOL or subject to a waiver. The DOL approved carriers and self insured employers are available at http://www.dol.gov/owcp/dlhwc/lscarrier.htm.

(b) The contractor agrees to insert a clause substantially the same as this one in all subcontracts to which DBA is applicable. Subcontractors shall be required to insert a similar clause in any of their subcontracts subject to the DBA.
