B. Need and Uses
This clearance covers the information that offerors or contractors
must submit to comply with the following FAR requirements:
<bullet> FAR 52.228-1, Bid Guarantee. This provision (or clause)
requires offerors or contractors to furnish a bid guarantee in the
proper form and amount when a performance bond or a performance and
payment bond is also required. (SF 24, Bid Bond; SF 34, Annual Bid
Bond).
<bullet> FAR 52.228-2, Additional Bond Security. This clause
requires contractors to furnish additional bond security under certain
circumstances. This clause is used both for construction and other than

of Surety and Increase of Penalty).
<bullet> FAR 52.228-13, Alternative Payment Protections. This
clause requires contractors to submit one of the payment protections
listed in the clause by the contracting officer, in construction
contracts greater than $35,000 but not exceeding $150,000.
<bullet> FAR 52.228-14, Irrevocable Letter of Credit. This clause
requires offerors or contractors to provide certain information when
they intend to use an irrevocable letter of credit (ILC) in lieu of a
required bid bond, or to secure other types of required bonds such as
performance and payment bonds. This clause is required in solicitations
and contracts when a bid guarantee, or performance bond, or performance
and payment bonds are required.
<bullet> FAR 52.228-15, Performance and Payment Bonds-Construction.
This clause requires contractors to provide performance and payment
bonds in construction contracts exceeding $150,000 (SF 25, Performance
Bond; SF 25-A, Payment Bond; SF 25-B, Continuation Sheet (for SF's 24,

<bullet> FAR 52.228-16, Performance and Payment Bonds-Other Than

<bullet> Standard Form (SF) 28, Affidavit of Individual Surety.
This form is used by all executive agencies, including DoD, to obtain
information from individuals wishing to serve as sureties to Government
bonds. Offerors and contractors may use an individual surety as
security for bonds required
[[Page 30307]]
under a solicitation or contract for supplies or services (including
construction). It is an elective decision on the part of the offeror or
contractor to use individual sureties instead of other available
sources of surety or sureties for Government bonds.
The Government retains the bid guarantees, bonds, or alternative
payment protections until the contractor's obligation is fulfilled. The
contracting officer uses the information on the SF 28 to determine the
acceptability of individuals proposed as sureties.
