Quick Summary
The Air Force Installation Contracting Center/772nd Enterprise Sourcing Squadron is conducting a Project Labor Agreement (PLA) Market Survey for potential large-scale construction projects (exceeding $35 million) at multiple locations. This is a Special Notice to gather industry feedback, not a request for proposals. Responses are due by April 10, 2026.
Purpose
This market survey aims to solicit feedback from the construction community regarding the potential use of Project Labor Agreements (PLAs) for future large-scale federal construction projects. The government intends to use this feedback to inform decisions on requiring PLAs for projects listed in Attachment 1 and other similar future projects.
Scope of Potential Projects
Potential projects are anticipated to be design/bid/build or design/build, with magnitudes varying by project and general performance periods of 18-48 months. Relevant NAICS Codes include 236210 (Industrial Building Construction), 236220 (Commercial and Institutional Building Construction), 237990 (Other Heavy and Civil Engineering Construction), and/or 2371 (Utility System Construction).
Project Labor Agreements (PLAs)
A PLA is defined as a pre-hire collective bargaining agreement with one or more labor organizations that establishes employment terms for a specific construction project. Executive Order 14063 mandates agencies to use PLAs for large-scale construction projects to promote economy and efficiency, unless specific exceptions apply (e.g., not achieving economy/efficiency, frustrating full and open competition, or inconsistency with regulations).
Action Items for Interested Parties
Interested parties are requested to provide feedback by completing Attachment 1: PLA List of Projects MRRV.xlsx. This spreadsheet serves as a questionnaire to gauge industry interest and potential concerns regarding PLAs. It asks for:
- Contractor Information: Company name, size (under NAICS 236220), bonding capacity.
- Bidder Role Identification: Prime, Subcontractor, Labor Union, Trade Association, Other.
- PLA Familiarity and Impact Questions: Awareness of PLA use, necessity for multiple trades, skilled labor shortages, comparable PLA projects, and estimated cost/time impacts.
