Quick Summary
The Department of the Air Force (354 CONS/PKA) is conducting a Project Labor Agreement (PLA) Market Survey for Eielson AFB, AK. This special notice seeks feedback from the construction community on the potential use of PLAs for four large-scale construction and one large-scale demolition projects, each valued at over $35 million. Responses, including a completed questionnaire (Attachment 1), are due by June 11, 2026.
Purpose of Survey
This market survey aims to gather information to determine if the use of 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 applicable statutes, regulations, and laws. This is not a Request for Proposals (RFP), Request for Quote (RFQ), or Invitation for Bid (IFB).
Scope of Interest
The Government is seeking feedback from both unionized and non-unionized contractors, including those familiar with the federal marketplace and new entrants, who may be interested in these procurements. The projects are planned via design/bid/build, with anticipated performance periods of 12-36 months each. The survey is also informed by Executive Order 14063, which generally requires PLAs for large-scale federal construction projects, with specific exceptions.
Action Required
Contractors are requested to complete and submit Attachment 1 (a questionnaire) via email to the provided contacts by June 11, 2026. Responses should focus on providing detailed comments and data, rather than general support or opposition to PLAs.
Important Notes
The Government will use survey responses to decide whether to pursue an exception to the mandatory use of a PLA. This survey is for planning purposes only and does not obligate the Government to award a contract or pay for the information provided.
