SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
A. Purpose
The Affidavit of Individual Surety (Standard Form (SF) 28) is used
by all executive agencies, including the Department of Defense, to
obtain information from individuals wishing to serve as sureties to
Government bonds. To qualify as a surety on a Government bond, the
individual must show a net worth not less than the penal amount of the
bond on the SF 28. It is an elective decision on the part of the maker
to use individual sureties instead of other available sources of surety
or sureties for Government bonds. We are not aware if other formats
exist for the collection of this information.
The information on SF 28 is used to assist the contracting officer
in determining the acceptability of individuals proposed as sureties.
