4-File K- NJ BRC REQUEST.pdf

This document is a Business Registration Certificate issued by the Township of Stafford, New Jersey, addressing business registration requirements for goods, services, and construction contracts involving public entities. The certificate outlines statutory provisions (P.L. 2009, c. 315) that amend business registration requirements for contracts with government agencies, including State Departments, state colleges and universities, county colleges, public school contracts, and contracts for water supply and wastewater treatment services.

The registration requirement applies to bidders and subcontractors seeking to enter contracts with public contracting agencies. Businesses can register and obtain proof of registration through the New Jersey government website (www.ni.gov/nibgs) or by phone at (609)292-9292. The document provides a form for bidders and subcontractors to indicate their registration status, with spaces to list names and Business Registration Certificate (BRC) numbers. The policy now allows contracting agencies to reject bids or proposals that do not include proof of business registration, streamlining the procurement process for public entities.
