Genclemen:

      We have considered your protests egainst the guard service
 license requirement included in advertised solicitations issued
 by theG eneral Services Administration (GS-033-17607, -17696,
 -17700, 2P20-RC-784, -785, and -H5-797).

      The solicitations required that the bidder have a license
 to conduct a guard service business in the State of Nev York
 r .that the contractor be licensed as a qualified guard service
 company in Virginia, County of Fairfax and Karyland, Montgomery
 County.  It is your position that these licensing requirements
 restricted competition and that the requirements should have
*been deleted or ignoxed in making awards; On the other hand,
you are aware of the position maintained by GSA that the
requirements are a proper exercise of procurement responsibility.

     We regret the delay in disposing of your protests. Stt
since the protests raised issues significant to advertised
procuremont procedures, we found it was necessary to reevaluate
prior similar rittevs in the light of the policy and legal
