Reviewer notes
Re-fetched 2026-08-31; the four bond categories, the 0.6 percent fee, the no-fee treatment of bid bond guarantees, and the $9 million and $14 million contract limits all appear on the page. A marketing line about bonds helping small businesses win contracts was dropped from this card because it was not re-verified. This is a program landing page and is not used for the three-party structure or the reimbursement duty.
