No Contractor shall bid on any contract for public work as defined in section 2 of P.L.1963, c. 150 (C.34:11-56.26) unless the Contractor is registered pursuant to this act. No Contractor shall list a Subcontractor in a bid proposal for the contract unless the Subcontractor is registered pursuant to P.L.1999, c.238 (C.34:11-56.48 et seq.) at the time the bid is made. The law requires that Contractors submit certificates after a bid proposal is received and prior to the award of the contract (N.J.S.A. 34:11-56.55).
