Gross for the protester. Lynn W. Flanagan, Esq., Department of Agriculture, for the agency. Charles W. Morrow, Esq., and James Spangenberg, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST Forest Service reasonably determined that it was not required to incorporate the clauses in Federal Acquisition Regulation § 52.228-5, Insurance-Work on a Government Installation, and Agriculture Acquisition Regulation § 452.228-71, Insurance Coverage, which obligate the contractor to obtain specified coverages of workers' compensation and other insurance, in a solicitation for work on forest lands in a national forest where the Forest Service reasonably concluded that the work was not being performed on a Government installation, which is the situation where these clauses are required to be incorporated. DECISION SHABA Contracting protests invitation for bids (IFB) No. FS-WOC-01-1029, issued by the United States Department of Agriculture, Forest Service, Russellville, Arkansas, for forestry work. We deny the protest. The IFB was issued to procure pine site preparation, hardwood site preparation, timber stand improvement, and wildlife stand improvement on National Forest lands in the Buffalo Ranger District, Arkansas under a fixed-price requirements contract. The schedule contained estimated quantities of acres for the four items of services. SHABA first timely protests that the IFB should have included the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) clause requiring the contractor to have insurance for workers' compensation and liability on government installations.
