Bill Summary

A BILL To amend title 41, United States Code, to prohibit the Federal Government from entering into contracts with an entity that discriminates against the firearm and ammunition industry, and for other purposes.

AI Summary

This bill, known as the Firearm Industry Non-Discrimination (FIND) Act, aims to prevent federal agencies from entering into contracts with companies that discriminate against firearm and ammunition businesses. Specifically, the bill requires that any government contract include a clause mandating that the prime contractor certify they do not have and will not develop policies that discriminate against firearm entities or trade associations. The bill defines discrimination broadly, including making judgments based on partial criteria, refusing services, or limiting operations without clear legal justification. For contracts over a certain value, prime contractors are also prohibited from awarding subcontracts to entities that cannot make similar non-discrimination certifications. If a contractor violates these provisions, they face contract termination and potential suspension or debarment. The bill defines "firearm entities" expansively, including licensed firearm manufacturers, ammunition sellers, gun storage device dealers, and firearm component manufacturers. Notably, the bill does not apply to sole-source contracts, and discrimination is specifically defined to exclude decisions based on legitimate business criteria like credit history, financial risk, or legal compliance.
