Quick Summary
The 354 CONS/PKA at Eielson AFB, AK, has issued a Special Notice to conduct a Project Labor Agreement (PLA) Market Survey. This survey seeks feedback from the construction community regarding the potential use of PLAs for four large-scale construction projects and one large-scale demolition project, each potentially exceeding $35 million. The purpose is to assess if PLAs would advance federal interests in economy, efficiency, promote competition, and comply with regulations. Responses are requested by June 11, 2026, with the official notice response date being June 12, 2026.
Scope of Work
The government is soliciting feedback on the potential impact of PLAs on these significant projects. The survey aims to gather information to determine if PLAs would:
- Advance the Federal Government's interest in achieving economy and efficiency in Federal procurement.
- Promote adequate competition at a fair and reasonable price.
- Be consistent with statutes, regulations, and laws.
Input is sought from both unionized and non-unionized contractors, including those familiar with the federal marketplace and new entrants. Projects are anticipated to be design/bid/build with performance periods of 12-36 months each.

- Project-specific NAICS codes and SBA Size Standards.
- Company size, bonding capacity, and potential role (Prime, Subcontractor).
- Perceptions on project complexity, duration, local labor shortages, and awareness of successful PLA implementations.
- Beliefs on whether PLAs promote long-term construction program interests.
