What this contract is for

Agency: STATE, DEPARTMENT OF / STATE, DEPARTMENT OF
Location: Washington, DC
Set-aside: No Set aside used
NAICS: 522220
Scope: Federal

The purpose of this award is to enter into a rate agreement (unfunded contract) in which the contractor, hereafter referred to as the Insurer, will be the source of Workers’ Compensation Insurance as required by the Defense Base Act (DBA) for all Department of State (DoS) awarded contracts.

Defense Base Act (42 U.S.C.

1651 “DBA”) requires federal contractors and subcontractors working outside the continental United States to provide the equivalent of workers’ compensation insurance to their employees.

The U.S.

Government reimburses DBA insurance carriers for claims paid in connection with injuries or deaths from war hazards as defined and covered by the War Hazards Compensation Act.

According to the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR 28.305), contracting officers must include DBA (workers’ compensation) insurance in each contract approved or financed under the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961, as amended (Public Law 87-195) unless the Secretary of Labor approves a waiver of coverage.

Official solicitation and documents

The full solicitation, any attachments, and the actual submission instructions live on the official listing, not on this page. Oppward summarizes public record data; it does not host or mirror the source documents.

How to bid on this

This is a contract solicitation, not a grant. To bid, you submit a proposal (usually a price and a description of how you would do the work) directly to the government, through the channel the official listing specifies, not through Oppward.

Make sure your business has an active SAM.gov registration. You cannot be paid on a federal contract without one.
Read the full solicitation on the official listing above, especially the scope of work, not just this summary. Our guide to reading a solicitation walks through what to look for.
Check the set-aside listed above and confirm your business actually qualifies for it before you spend time on a proposal. See our guide to set-asides if the category is unfamiliar.
Submit your proposal by the deadline, using the exact submission method the official listing states. A technically on-time bid sent the wrong way is often treated as late.
