Firearm Industry Non-Discrimination Act or the FIND Act
This bill prohibits the federal government from entering into contracts with an entity that discriminates against firearm trade associations or businesses that deal in firearms, ammunition, or related products.
Specifically, the bill requires a federal agency to include in each contract for the procurement of goods or services awarded by the agency a clause requiring the prime contractor to certify that it (1) has no policy, practice, guidance, or directive that discriminates against a firearm entity or firearm trade association; and (2) will not adopt a policy, practice, guidance, or directive that discriminates against a firearm entity or firearm trade association during the term of the contract.
The bill establishes (1) a similar requirement with respect to subcontracts, and (2) penalties for violations.
The bill makes such prohibition inapplicable to a contract for the procurement of goods or services that is a sole-source contract.
