The Standard Form 24 (SF 24) is a bid bond form used when a bid guaranty is required for federal government contracts, including construction, supplies, or services. This form ensures that if a principal's bid is accepted, they will execute the necessary contractual documents and provide required bonds, or compensate the government for any increased procurement costs if they fail to do so. The bond's penal sum can be a percentage of the bid price, potentially with a maximum dollar limitation. Key instructions cover proper completion, including the legal names and addresses of the principal and surety(ies), organizational type, and state of incorporation. Corporate sureties must be on the Department of the Treasury's approved list, and co-surety arrangements are permitted, provided their combined liability equals 100% of the bond's penal sum. Individual sureties require a completed Affidavit of Individual Surety (SF 28). The form also details conditions for the bond's voidance and the surety's obligation regarding extensions of bid acceptance time.
