FAR and DFARS › FAR Part 52: Solicitation Provisions and Contract Clauses › Subpart 52.2

FAR 52.228-10 Vehicular and General Public Liability Insurance.

The codified text (eCFR, as of 2026-10-02). Under the Revolutionary FAR Overhaul ↗, agencies follow class deviations with new text for many parts while the formal rules go through the Federal Register: check the solicitation and your contract's clauses, which rule.

In plain English

This clause requires a contractor to carry vehicular and general public liability insurance at its own expense for the duration of the contract, with dollar limits filled in by the contracting officer. It also requires the contractor to maintain workers' compensation and other legally required insurance for its own employees and agents. It matters because it applies when the contracting officer decides that insurance required by law is not enough for transportation or transportation-related services.

Applies to: Contractors performing transportation or transportation-related services

What it requires

  • Maintain vehicular liability and general public liability insurance at the contractor's expense during the contract
  • Maintain workers' compensation and other legally required insurance for the contractor's own employees and agents

Key terms: vehicular liability insurance · general public liability insurance · bodily injury · property damage · workers' compensation
