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.
In Louisiana
No Louisiana statute requires supply bonds. Louisiana's bond statutes (La. R.S. 38:2219 and 38:2241) cover public works; for supply purchases, each state solicitation states whether a performance bond is required and in what amount.
You need this bond if you're
- A material supplier on a public contract
- An equipment vendor or manufacturer
- A distributor supplying a large private project
What the surety looks at
Your business, credit and the supply contract. Large contracts can need financial statements.
