ute, the State's licensing board would, if the contractor were subject to the licensing statute, have a virtual power of review over the Federal determination as to whether an award of a contract to a particular contractor is consonant with the policy stated in the Armed Forces Procurement Act, that bids be awarded to the lowest responsible bidder.
It is also interesting to note that the Arkansas state statute in question required qualifications in addition to those that the Federal Government had pronounced. This indicates a judicial inclination to award supremacy in this field to Federal rather than state regulations.
Therefore, it would seem that a foreign contractor bidder can safely rely on compliance with the Federal agency's requirements for bidding even though such compliance results in a failure to comply with or violation of the local state's law regarding licensing.
In conclusion, a foreign contractor-bidder should, upon making a decision to submit a bid, immediately examine the local regulations or pertinent Federal statute and thereby determine the applicable law, asking himself the following questions:
1. Is a contractors' license required prior to submission of a bid? or after? or at all?
2. If the bidder is a corporation, must such corporation be qualified to do business in the foreign state at the time such bid is submitted? or need the bidder only file an intent to do business in such state.
3. Must the bidder appoint the Secretary of State of the foreign State as its agent for service of process?
4. If a contractors' license is required of the bidder, must the bidder (if a corporation) be qualified to do business in such State prior to its application for a contractors' license? or only subsequent to its application?
5. If a contractors' license is required, specifically to whom should such application be made, what is the fee and how soon after such application has been made, can the applicant expect to receive its license, assuming the applicant is otherwise qualified?
In addition, for certain persons or corporations already qualified to do business in certain foreign states and/or who hold a contractors' license, a decision must be made whether or not to withdraw from a state after a contract has been completed. Before doing so, however, consideration should be given to keeping the corporation qualified and in good standing with the licensing authority, particularly if there is any possibility of obtaining further business in the same state.
Maintenance of the contractors' license will enable to bid and proceed on contracts without the delay of obtaining a new license. Often it may cost less to r
