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.
