About this file

This is a Bid Bond template (FAA Form 4400-39, revised 01/23) used in federal contracting to ensure bidders' good faith participation in procurement processes.

The form establishes a binding obligation between the principal (bidder), surety(ies), and the United States Government. The principal must complete fields identifying their legal name, business address, and organization type (individual, partnership, joint venture, or corporation). The surety information section requires the name and business address of sureties providing the bond guarantee. The penal sum of the bond is expressed as a percentage of the bid price or as a fixed amount in millions, thousands, hundreds, and cents. The form requires identification of the bid date and invitation number, along with notation of whether the procurement concerns construction, supplies, or services. The bond becomes void if the principal executes further contractual documents and provides required bonds within ten days of receiving forms (or as specified), or pays the Government for any costs exceeding the original bid amount in case of failure to perform. Sureties' obligations are not impaired by bid acceptance extensions up to sixty calendar days. The document requires signatures from principal representatives and sureties (both individual and corporate), with corporate sureties including state of incorporation and liability limits. The form carries OMB Control Number 2120-0595 with an estimated burden of approximately 25 minutes per response.
