228.304 Risk-pooling arrangements.
DoD has established the National Defense Projects Rating Plan, also known as the Special Casualty Insurance Rating Plan, as a risk-pooling arrangement to minimize the cost to the Government of purchasing the liability insurance listed in FAR 28.307-2. Use the plan in accordance with the procedures at PGI 228.304 when it provides the necessary coverage more advantageously than commercially available coverage.
228.305 Overseas workers' compensation and war-hazard insurance.
(d) When submitting requests for waiver, follow the procedures at PGI 228.305(d).
228.307 Insurance under cost-reimbursement contracts.
228.307-1 Group insurance plans.
The Defense Department Group Term Insurance Plan is available for contractor use under cost-reimbursement type contracts when approved as provided in department or agency regulations. A contractor is eligible if—
(a) The number of covered employees is 500 or more; and

(ii) That are awarded under FAR Part 12 procedures and are for the acquisition, development, production, modification, maintenance, repair, flight, or overhaul of aircraft; or otherwise involving the furnishing of aircraft;

(iv) Revise paragraph (e)(3) of the clause to provide Government
assumption of risk for transportation by conveyance on streets or highways when transportation is—
(A) Limited to the vicinity of contractor premises; and
