In the United States, the law requiring contract surety bonds on federal construction projects is known as the Miller Act (40 U.S.C. Section 3131 to 3134). This law requires a contractor on a federal project to post two bonds: a performance bond and a labor and material payment bond. A corporate surety company issuing these bonds must be listed as a qualified surety on the Treasury List, which the U.S. Department of the Treasury issues each year.
