Government Contracting Insurance
The Alliant Government Contracting (GovCon) team provides specialized insurance for businesses providing goods or services to the U.S. federal government, operating domestically or overseas.
Risk-Focused Approach
Government contractors face unique risks in helping the United States and its allies accomplish critical missions. Drawing from extensive experience serving businesses in the government, aerospace and defense sectors, the Alliant GovCon team delivers a risk-focused approach to view our clients’ exposures across all insurance policies. Our government contracting insurance and risk management solutions mitigate exposures stemming from three critical areas of risk: people, liabilities and assets.
Solutions for Government Contractors
GovCon Solutions to Protect Your Greatest Asset: Your People
Our team delivers risk management services and solutions to protect your people when it matters most, whether you’re preparing for international deployment or navigating emergencies like MEDEVAC. We provide insurance coverages that align with the unique risks of government service providers, including workers’ compensation, foreign voluntary workers’ compensation, business travel accident, Defense Base Act, kidnap and ransom insurance and employee benefits.
Mitigating Liability Risks that Stem from Your Operations
Government contractors face significant exposures in support of U.S. government missions, both domestically and overseas. Because of the complexity of these exposures, our partnership with clients goes well beyond simply transferring risk via government contracting insurance. Our team of specialists designs loss control initiatives and response plans specific to our clients’ operations, mitigating losses that can impact their business, their people and the interests of the federal government.
GovCon Insurance Coverage for Pressing Asset Risks
Government contracts often require work in hazardous, post-disaster, remote or politically unstable areas. This exposes physical assets like equipment, facilities and materials in transit or storage to heightened risk. We provide tailored risk management solutions for government furnished and client-owned property, cargo and special vehicles to mitigate loss from damage, crime or theft.
National Servicing Team for Government Contractors
As the leading specialty broker, we give our clients access to the best subject matter experts and resources, unconstrained by a client’s geographical location or size, and operate within a single P&L. Our government contracting solutions and services span all areas of risk management, including insurance placement, service, advisory, claims and loss control. We bring a personalized level of service across a national platform to solve the most complex industry challenges.
Leading Government Contracting Insurance Specialists
Our industry-leading team includes specialists who have prepared witnesses for U.S. Senate and congressional hearings, successfully asserted the government contractor and related defenses, and developed loss control programs to mitigate GovCon legal liability. We have guided government contractors through high-profile crises, including managing over 750 medical evacuations from austere environments, to help them resume operations with minimal disruption while providing the utmost care for employees in crisis.
Comprehensive Services Framework for Government Contractors
Before your company starts its next domestic project or deploys to a conflict zone abroad, we implement proactive risk mitigation strategies including contract review, risk assessment and loss control to minimize the frequency and severity of potential claims. Our team closes critical coverage gaps by placing Defense Base Act, United States Longshore and Harbor Workers’ Compensation Act (USL&H) and other casualty solutions based on your unique needs.
Dedicated Government Contracting Regulatory Guidance
The Alliant GovCon team actively monitors new executive orders and regulatory changes, and provides strategic guidance to help government contractors adapt and stay compliant.

At Alliant, we take a personalized approach to managing each client’s unique operational risks, helping them adopt strategies that prevent losses and reduce claim frequency and severity. Our detailed risk analysis covers not just our clients, but also our clients’ partners, suppliers and subcontractors, resulting in tailored risk management programs that apply to the specific work they perform and the locations they operate within.
Defense Base Act (DBA) insurance is a type of workers’ compensation coverage that protects employees of government contractors who work abroad from risks associated with injuries and accidents on-the-job. This type of insurance for government contractors is administered by the U.S. Department of Labor and is a requirement under the DBA if operating overseas.
For more information on the coverage of this act, please refer to the Department of Labor.
Operating in high-risk environments like warzones, military bases and other austere locations exposes government contractors to unique challenges. The Alliant GovCon team delivers comprehensive DBA solutions to our clients and prospects that provide competitively priced coverage as well as loss control, emergency response plans and training on how to respond to real life events.
