". SEC. 136. INCREASED PARTICIPATION OF UNITED STATES CONTRACTORS 22 USC 4864. IN LOCAL GUARD CONTRACTS ABROAD UNDER THE DIPLO- MATIC SECURITY PROGRAM. (a) FINDINGS.— The Congress makes the following findings: (1) State Department policy concerning the advertising of security contracts at Foreign Service buildings has been inconsistent over the years. In many cases, diplomatic and consular posts abroad have been given the responsibility to determine the manner in which the private sector was notified concerning an invitation for bids or a request for proposals with respect to a local guard contract. Some United States foreign
missions have only chosen to advertise locally the availability of a local security guard contract abroad. (2) As a result, many United States security firms that provide local guard services abroad have been unaware that local guard contracts were available for bidding abroad and such firms have been disadvantaged as a result.
