SF35
Annual Performance Bond
Standard Form 35 (SF 35), Annual Performance Bond, is a bond in which a principal and one or more sureties bind themselves to the United States of America in a penal sum. The form says the principal contemplates entering into contracts from time to time during the fiscal year shown with the Government department or agency named, and wants all of those contracts covered by one bond instead of a separate performance bond for each contract. Its footer prints STANDARD FORM 35 (REV. 10/2023), Prescribed by GSA - FAR (48 CFR) 53.228(g), and GSA hosts a copy in its forms library. 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.
The instructions say the form is authorized for use in the acquisition of supplies and services, excluding construction, in lieu of Standard Form 25 (Performance Bond), and that any deviation from it will require the written approval of the Administrator of General Services. It carries OMB Control Number 9000-0001, Expiration Date 1/31/2027.
