Access to Industry Bond Forms

BEAD Program Surety Bond Information Kit
NASBP and The Surety & Fidelity Association of America (SFAA) have prepared this free kit, including bond forms, to address the announcement of the National Telecommunications & Information Administration (NTIA) of the U.S. Department of Commerce to allow surety bonds as an alternative form of security to letters of credit (LOCs) for the Broadband Equity Access and Deployment (BEAD) Program. Of the two bond forms, one bond form addresses situations when the internet service provider (ISP) can qualify for bonding and furnishes the bond directly to the state broadband office. The second bond form addresses situations where the contractor to the ISP that is building out the broadband system is better suited to qualify for bonding.
