Process

How Our Bond Review Process Works

1

Submit the Request

The client submits the application, bond form, contract documents, solicitation, project scope, financial information, and any required obligee instructions.

2

Project and Contractor Review

FSA reviews the contractor's experience, operational capacity, financial information, project type, contract requirements, schedule, and prior performance.

3

Surety and Collateral Review

Where applicable, FSA reviews proposed surety support, indemnity, pledged assets, trust documentation, or individual surety documentation.

4

Underwriting Decision

The request is approved, declined, or returned for additional information. Approval is project-specific and does not automatically apply to future projects.

5

Bond Package Preparation

Approved bond packages may be prepared in the selected format, including GSA federal bond forms, approved owner forms, or licensed AIA workflows where applicable.

6

Issuance and Delivery

The final signed bond package is delivered to the client, obligee, or designated recipient according to the approved instructions.
