The Firearm and Ammunition Procurement Act establishes new procurement practices for firearms, ammunition, and firearm accessories by State agencies in New Jersey. Under this act, bidders must certify that they do not sell unserialized gun build kits or firearm precursor parts before contracts are awarded, renewed, amended, or extended. This certification must also include disclosures of any violations found during inspections by federal, State, or local agencies in the past two years. Additionally, bidders and contractors are required to provide documentation related to safety, including licenses, inspection reports, and corrective actions taken in response to any noncompliance with firearm laws.

The act mandates that State agencies reject bids or cancel contracts if bidders or contractors do not comply with its provisions, and it prohibits exigent or emergency purchases of firearms, ammunition, or accessories. Furthermore, each State agency, in collaboration with the Office of the Attorney General, is tasked with developing processes to implement these requirements, which may include prequalification processes and scoring systems to evaluate bidders' public safety values. The act applies to all relevant contracts solicited or entered into after its effective date.
