Contact Congress about S. 137: FIND Act

Most federal contractors would have to promise they do not unfairly refuse service to firearm businesses or firearm trade groups. Large first-tier subcontractors would need to make the same promise. Breaking the rule would put the contract and future federal work at risk.

Modern Action explains legislation in plain English, helps you choose whether to support, oppose, or ask for changes, and drafts a message tied to the bill, your stance, and the elected officials who can act on it.

FIND Act is a Senate bill in committee. The latest recorded action: Read twice and referred to the Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs.

Latest action on S. 137: Read twice and referred to the Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs.

Who this affects: This bill mainly affects companies that want federal contracts and also have policies about serving firearm-related businesses. It also affects firearm and ammunition businesses that may seek banking, payment, insurance, supply, or other services from firms that do federal work. Federal agencies would have to add and enforce the new contract clause in covered contracts.

Why this matters: This bill matters because it would tie federal contract eligibility to how companies treat firearm-related businesses. A company could lose a contract or face a future contracting ban if its policies fit the bill’s definition of discrimination. The bill could change how banks, insurers, payment processors, and other service providers write their customer rules when they also want federal work. It could also raise disputes over where neutral business risk decisions end and firearm-industry discrimination begins.

Key provisions in S. 137

  • Most executive branch contracts for goods or services would need a new promise from the prime contractor. The contractor must certify that it does not, and will not, discriminate against firearm businesses or firearm trade groups as the bill defines them.
  • Prime contractors could not give large first-tier subcontracts to companies that refuse the same promise. This applies when the subcontract is worth more than 10 percent of the main contract.
  • Contractors could not move work around to dodge the 10 percent rule. The bill bars shifting work to lower-tier subcontractors for that purpose.
  • If a contractor breaks the clause, the agency must end the main contract for default. The government must also start suspension or debarment proceedings, which can block future federal contracts.
  • Sole-source contracts would not have to follow these certification rules. A sole-source contract is used when only one provider is available.
