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. It outlines the obligations of the principal (bidder) and surety(ies) to the United States of America. The bond ensures that if the principal's bid is accepted, they will execute the necessary contractual documents and provide required bonds. Failure to do so obligates the principal to pay the government any costs exceeding the bid amount for procuring the work. The form details how penal sums are calculated, the roles and liabilities of corporate and individual sureties, and requirements for signatures and corporate seals. Instructions specify procedures for completing the form, including rules for authorized signatures, expressing the penal sum as a percentage, and requirements for sureties listed on the Department of the Treasury's approved list. The form also addresses co-surety arrangements and waivers of notice for bid acceptance extensions, with a maximum waiver period of 60 days. The document emphasizes compliance with the Paperwork Reduction Act and provides an OMB control number, indicating its official use in government procurement processes.

The form requests personal details such as name, address, contact information, aliases, citizenship, Social Security Number, date and place of birth, sex, race, height, weight, and eye/hair color. A Privacy Act Notice outlines the authority for collecting this information (E.O. 10450 and various USC sections), its purposes (determining fitness for federal employment, contractual service, or security clearance), and the effects of non-disclosure, which can include the termination of employment or denial of access.
