What Is a Bureau of Indian Affairs Bond
A Bureau of Indian Affairs bond (also called a BIA bond or Indian Affairs surety bond) is a federally required surety bond for individuals or businesses working with the U.S. Department of the Interior’s Bureau of Indian Affairs. This bond ensures contractors, lessees, and permit holders comply with federal regulations, fulfill contractual obligations, and protect tribal lands and resources from financial harm.
A Bureau of Indian Affairs bond protects the federal government and tribal entities from:
Failure to perform contractual duties
Misuse or damage of tribal land or resources
Non‑payment of fees, royalties, or assessments
Violations of BIA regulations
Fraud, negligence, or non‑compliance
If you operate under a BIA contract, lease, or permit, you may be required to secure this bond before approval.
