Idaho Supply Bond

Idaho has no statute specifically requiring a supply bond from material or equipment suppliers. Idaho Code § 54-1926 requires a contractor-furnished payment bond (at least 85% of contract amount) on public works construction contracts of $50,000 or more, which protects those who supply labor or materials to the contractor, but the supplier itself is not required to post a bond. Idaho Code § 67-2806, which governs political subdivisions' procurement of personal property and services, allows only optional bid security of at least 5% of the amount bid and does not mandate a supply bond from any vendor.

About this bond

What a supply bond is

A supply bond guarantees a supplier will deliver materials or equipment as the contract says. Public agencies and project owners use them on large supply contracts.

  • The payment bond under Idaho Code § 54-1926 is furnished by the prime contractor, not by the supplier, and applies only to construction contracts.

FAQs

Common questions.

Does Idaho law require supply bonds?

Usually the contract or the buying agency sets it, not a statewide law. The bid or contract documents state the amount.

What does it cost?

You pay a premium, not the bond amount. The surety sets the premium after it reviews your application, usually as a percentage of the bond amount. We show you the terms before you commit.
