What it is and who needs it.
What the wholesaler bond actually guarantees
The Nevada State Board of Pharmacy licenses the wholesale distribution of prescription drugs, and NRS 639.515 conditions that license on a surety bond. The bond runs $25,000 to $100,000 as the Board determines under NAC 639.5937 — the $100,000 figure here is the top of that range, often required for larger distributors or multiple sites.
The bond is a compliance and consumer-protection guarantee: it stands behind your obligation to distribute drugs lawfully under Nevada's pharmacy laws, and it is payable for the benefit of the Board and the public if you violate them. It is a three-party arrangement — you (the principal), the surety, and the Board (the obligee).
A few statutory wrinkles worth knowing: a publicly traded corporation is exempt from the bond requirement, you may post cash or other NRS 100.065 security instead, and a wholesaler licensed 5+ consecutive years with a clean record can negotiate a reduction (never below $5,000). If a lower tier applies to you, send it over and we'll re-issue.

Claims, renewal, filing, and what sets the price.
If a claim is made
A claim comes from the party the bond protects, the obligee named on the form, when the duty the bond guarantees is not met.
The surety investigates and pays a valid claim, up to the $100,000 bond amount. You then repay the surety: a surety bond is a guarantee of your performance, not insurance for you.
Renewal and term
The premium covers a one-year term from the effective date you choose; a longer term is the same price per year, chosen at checkout.
Renew before the expiry date to keep the bond in force: the license, permit or contract it backs expects continuous coverage.
How to file it
E-sign & file with the Board of Pharmacy. Pay online and receive the executed $100,000 bond ready to file with your wholesale distribution license application. Wet-ink originals mailed whenever the Board insists.
What sets the price
The premium is fixed at $1,000 at the $100,000 amount for every applicant: the carrier’s rate book prices this bond by the form, not by your credit or your business profile.
