Defense & Government Contractors
Insurance that answers to the contract.
Defense primes, sub-tier suppliers and OCONUS service providers. We read the insurance requirements in your contract and build the program to meet them, before award rather than after.

Know your coverage
A program mapped line by line to what the contract asks for.
Government and prime contracts specify the insurance you must carry: liability limits, additional insured status for the prime and the government, waivers of subrogation, and primary and non-contributory wording. Missing one can hold up an award or a payment.
We start from the contract and work backwards, so the program meets the requirements on day one and keeps meeting them as contracts change.
- 01
General & products liability
Limits and endorsements written to FAR Part 28 and prime flow-down requirements.
- 02
Property & business income
Facilities, tooling and inventory, including property in your care for a customer where the contract requires it.

Towers built to contract minimums and written alongside the primary.

Common questions
What clients in this sector ask first.
Don’t see yours? Call (970) 580-8067 and talk to the agency principal directly.
It depends on the contract. FAR Part 28 sets the baseline for many federal contracts, and primes often flow down additional limits and endorsements. Send us the insurance section and we will tell you exactly what it asks for.
Yes, and that is the best time. We review the insurance requirements and tell you what your current program meets and where the gaps are.
We place coverage for OCONUS operations with markets that write it. Tell us where, for how long and who is deployed.
No. Many of the companies we work with are sub-tier suppliers meeting a prime's requirements for the first time.
