NIGP 95341: Fidelity and Surety

NIGP 95341 Fidelity and Surety, an Item code, covers the procurement of surety bonds and insurance products that protect state and local governments against employee dishonesty, fraud, theft, and other loss exposures. Recent opportunities show two distinct purchasing patterns: jurisdictions securing surety bonds for public works and construction projects, and centralized procurement of government crime insurance covering multiple agencies and employees. State and local governments use this code to obtain bid bonds, performance bonds, payment bonds, and comprehensive crime coverage for their operations and capital projects.

The issuing bodies span state departments, county governments, cities, and tribal entities. The Florida Department of Management Services, Collin County, the City of Garland, the City of Frisco, and the Confederated Tribes of Coos, Lower Umpqua and Siuslaw Indians have all posted opportunities recently. Activity concentrates in Texas and Florida. Representative recent solicitations include the Florida Department of Management Services issuing an ITB for Government Crime Insurance covering over 50 state agencies with an average annual historical spend of $149,255 and bids due November 10, 2026; the Confederated Tribes of Coos, Lower Umpqua and Siuslaw Indians posting an RFQ to establish a nonexclusive Contractor Surety Bonding Resource List with proposals due October 30, 2026; and Collin County in coordination with the City of Garland issuing a bid solicitation for the Legacy and Stonebrook Widening project, a multi-phase roadway expansion with proposals due November 5, 2026. The tribal RFQ explicitly values experience with Tribal governments, public works projects, federally funded work, and small or minority-owned businesses, reflecting set-aside and preference considerations in some jurisdictions.
