How many bid surety bonds do I need?

You must obtain one bid surety bond for each competitive bidding area (CBA) for which you submit a bid, regardless of the number of locations (identified by Provider Transaction Access Number (PTAN)) or product categories included on your bid for the CBA. For example, if you have five locations on your bid for three product categories in one CBA, you must obtain one bond for the CBA. However, if you have three locations on your bid for one product category in three different CBAs, then you must obtain three bid surety bonds, one bond for each CBA.
