Spot for Defense Companies
We check every insurance clause in your prime contract or subcontract, get quotes to match and have certificates ready when you bid.
Your Spot team lists each contract party, clause or flow-down, requested limit and the work stage it describes, so prototype delivery and post-acceptance support sit on separate rows.

Limits, exclusions, and endorsements
We note who owns each test unit during build and testing, who takes custody at delivery, and where customer- or government-furnished items sit, with values for each.
After brokers take the crosswalk to market, Spot asks which proposed wording matches each stage and flags any requested term a proposal doesn’t show.

When a prime or contracting office asks for proof of insurance before work begins, send the request to your Spot team in Slack with the contract and site. We check it against the clause and work with your broker on the certificate.
