FIND Act

Sponsored By: Representative Bergman

Introduced

Summary

Prevents federal contractors from excluding or limiting businesses in the firearm and ammunition industry. The bill would create a new procurement rule that requires prime contractors and many subcontractors to certify they have no policies that discriminate against defined firearm entities or firearm trade associations.

Show full summary
  • Firearm and ammunition businesses and trade associations: Would block contractors from refusing services, limiting operations beyond law, or making category-based exclusions against defined firearm entities or trade groups.
  • Prime contractors and subcontractors: Prime contractors must include a no-discrimination certification and may not award a first-tier subcontract worth more than 10 percent of the prime contract to an uncertified entity. The bill bans structuring tiers to evade that limit.
  • Federal agencies: Agency contracting officials would be required to add the certification and subcontract limits into procurement contracts for goods and services. A narrow sole-source exception is included.
  • Enforcement: A contractor that violates the clause would face termination for default and initiation of suspension or debarment proceedings.

Ban on contractor bias against gun businesses

If enacted, federal procurement contracts would include a clause banning discrimination against gun businesses and their trade groups. Prime contractors would need to certify they have no such policy and will not adopt one during the contract. They could not give a first-tier subcontract worth over 10% of the prime contract to a firm that will not certify. They also could not use lower-tier subcontracting to dodge that 10% rule. Breaking these terms would trigger termination for default and suspension or debarment steps. The rule would apply to contracts awarded on or after enactment. Sole-source contracts would be exempt from the certification and subcontract limits.
