Standard Form 24 (SF 24) is a bid bond form used in federal government contracting to guarantee that a principal (bidder) will enter into a contract if their bid is accepted. The form outlines the obligations of both the principal and surety(ies) to the United States Government. Key conditions specify that the bond becomes void if the principal executes required contractual documents and provides necessary bonds within specified timeframes (60 days for acceptance, 10 days for document execution, if not otherwise specified). If the principal fails to do so, they must pay the government for any costs exceeding the original bid. The form also details instructions for proper execution, including requirements for corporate and individual sureties, acceptable penal sum expressions (percentage of bid price with a maximum dollar limit), and the need for corporate seals. Sureties must be approved by the Department of the Treasury, and co-surety arrangements are allowed with clear liability allocations. Extensions to the bid acceptance period, up to 60 days, do not impair the surety's obligation, with notice waived.
