SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
A. Purpose
The Affidavit of Individual Surety 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.
