About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the distributor bond actually covers

Nebraska's Wholesale Drug Distributor Licensing Act requires anyone distributing prescription drugs at wholesale in the state to be licensed by the Department of Health and Human Services. As part of licensure, a distributor must post security — and a surety bond of not less than $100,000 is the most common accepted form.

The bond secures payment of any administrative penalties imposed by the Department, and any fees or costs the Department incurs in connection with the distributor. It is a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the State of Nebraska through DHHS (the obligee).

The Act lets a distributor satisfy the requirement with equivalent security — a bond, an irrevocable letter of credit, or funds in a trust account — and a single bond can cover a company's separate or affiliated locations rather than one per site. A surety bond is usually cheapest: pricing starts from $100 instead of tying up $100,000 in cash or bank collateral. The application collects no credit information, so most approve instantly.

Neb. Rev. Stat. §§ 71-7427 to 71-7463 · 172 NAC 131The Wholesale Drug Distributor Licensing Act (Neb. Rev. Stat. §§ 71-7427 to 71-7463), implemented at 172 NAC 131, requires a wholesale drug distributor licensed by DHHS to provide security of not less than $100,000 — a surety bond, irrevocable letter of credit, or trust-account funds — to secure payment of administrative penalties and any fees or costs the Department incurs. A separate bond is not required for each location or for affiliated companies. Confirm your required amount with DHHS.
