California Pharmaceutical Wholesaler Surety Bond

Bond Penalty: $25,000 or $100,000

A California Pharmaceutical Wholesaler Surety Bond is required by the California State Board of Pharmacy (BOP) as a condition of licensure for entities that engage in the wholesale distribution of prescription drugs and devices. This bond serves as a financial guarantee that the licensee will comply with all applicable provisions of the California Business and Professions Code, particularly Sections 4160 through 4169.5, and any other rules regulating drug wholesale operations.

The purpose of the surety bond is to protect the public and the state against fraud, misrepresentation, and unlawful practices by pharmaceutical wholesalers. If the licensee violates the provisions of the law—such as distributing misbranded or adulterated drugs, failing to maintain appropriate records, or doing business with unauthorized entities—the Board or a harmed party may make a claim against the bond to recover financial damages.

The required bond amount is $100,000, as specified by the BOP. However, the bond amount may be reduced to $25,000 for wholesalers that certify in writing that they are only distributing dangerous drugs exclusively to veterinary premises or practitioners holding a veterinary license. Surety One, Inc. offers both bond amounts with fast underwriting and same-day turnaround in most cases.
