About this opportunity
The U.S. Department of State, specifically the U.S. Embassy in Canberra, Australia, is soliciting proposals for workers compensation insurance coverage for locally employed embassy staff. The contract will require the selected contractor to be licensed by the Australian Capital Territory workers' compensation authority and provide comprehensive insurance coverage under the Workers Compensation Act 1951. Contractors must submit a complete electronic offer by 5:00 pm AEST on May 21, 2025, including Standard Form 33, pricing schedule, representations and certifications, SAM registration proof, and IRS Form W-14. The evaluation criteria will focus on meeting mandatory insurance coverage requirements, demonstrating proper licensing, showing acceptable past performance, and ensuring full compliance with solicitation terms. The government intends to award the contract to the lowest-priced, technically acceptable, and responsible offeror, potentially without further discussions.
The solicitation does not include any specific set-aside designations, and the current incumbent is Insurance Australia Ltd (CGU) under contract number 19AS2024C0002. The estimated annual wage base is $17,500,000 AUD, which will serve as the basis for premium calculations. The contract will cover a one-year period from July 1, 2025, to June 30, 2026, for locally employed staff at the U.S. Embassy located in Harman, ACT 2600, Australia. Insurers are expected to calculate premiums based on factors including industry classification, total payroll, and historical claims data. The insurance must provide comprehensive coverage including weekly compensation payments, medical expenses, rehabilitation treatment, and lump sum payments for permanent injuries. Contractors will be required to comply with local laws and participate in the embassy's Safety, Health, and Environmental Management (SHEM) program and Return-to-Work Policy.
