Standard Form 1414 (SF 1414): Consent of Surety

Standard Form 1414 (SF 1414), Consent of Surety, is a two-sided form tied to a modification of a federal contract. The footer says it is prescribed by GSA under FAR (48 CFR) 53.228(k), and GSA hosts it in its forms library. The edition printed on the form is STANDARD FORM 1414 (REV. 10/2023), with OMB Control Number 9000-0001, and the footer says the previous edition is not usable.

In the form's words, the Surety (Co-Sureties) consents to the foregoing contract modification and agrees that its bond or bonds shall apply and extend to the contract as modified or amended. The form identifies the contract and the modification, then has signature blocks for an individual or corporate principal and for each corporate or individual surety, each with a place to affix a seal.

GSA's page says the form is intended for use by government contractors and contracting personnel for compliance with and management of financial security requirements in Federal Government contracts. You can fill it out free in your browser on this page and download the result without an account.
