I have not been able to locate a surety from which to obtain the required bid surety bond.

Each bidder must obtain a bid surety bond from an authorized surety on the Department of Treasury’s List of Certified Companies on the Department of the Treasury’s website. If you haven’t already, you may want to contact the surety that provided your bond for enrollment with the National Supplier Clearinghouse (NSC), but please make sure they are still on the list of certified companies. You may also perform a Google search and find sureties that are providing the required bid surety bond for the Durable Medical Equipment, Prosthetics, Orthotics, and Supplies (DMEPOS) Competitive Bidding Program (e.g., search for "DMEPOS Bid Surety Bond").
