- Description
- The Office of the Under Secretary of Defense through the Executive Agency of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) anticipates the competitive award of a one-year pilot requirements contract to provide a centrally-managed source of Workers Compens ation Insurance as required by the statutorily mandated Defense Base Act (DBA). A DBA insurance contract pilot program is expected to provide a means to assess whether it might be advantageous for the Department of Defense (reduction in rates, improvement s in contractor participation in overseas procurements, establishing effective competition, and all other factors considered) to award a contract to one insurance company to provide DBA coverage for all of USACE contractor employees working overseas, simil ar to the contracts awarded for this purpose by the U.S. Agency for International Development and the Department of State. Under this pilot program for all Corps of Engineers contracts and subcontracts involving any overseas performance, the contractors r equirement by law to provide overseas employees with insurance coverage pursuant to the Longshoremens and Harbor Workers Compensation Act/Defense Base Act or DBA, would be centrally managed by a single insurance company during the contract duration, unless a waiver has been obtained from the U.S. Department of Labor. The successful offeror shall deal directly with the companies requiring DBA insurance for payment arrangements and resolution of issues. No Government funds will be allocated under any agreem ent or contract governing the administration of the Centrally-managed Pilot Program. To register for this solicitation, you must email the following information directly to Susan Burchell at susan.m.burchell@usace.army.mil; place solicitation number in su bject line of your email; in the body, place name of the requestor, organization name, address, telephone and fax number and your email address.
