Quick Summary
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Alaska District, is conducting market research through a Special Notice/Request for Information (RFI) regarding the use of a Project Labor Agreement (PLA) for the upcoming FY27 Design Bid Build project EIE466 ADAL JPARC Range Operations Center at Eielson Air Force Base, Alaska. This RFI seeks industry input to determine if a PLA is appropriate or if an exception to mandatory PLA use (under E.O. 14063) is warranted for this large-scale construction project. Responses are due by March 11, 2026.
Project Overview
The project, titled EIE466 ADAL JPARC Range Operations Center, is a Design Bid Build construction effort at Eielson Air Force Base, Alaska. It falls under NAICS Code 236210 (Industrial Building Construction) and Product Service Code Y1AZ (Construction Of Other Administrative Facilities And Service Buildings). As a large-scale federal construction project (defined as $35 million or more), it is subject to Executive Order (E.O.) 14063, which generally requires the use of PLAs.
Purpose of RFI
The Government is soliciting comments from the construction community to assess whether a PLA for this project would:
- Advance economy and efficiency in federal procurement.
- Promote adequate competition at a fair and reasonable price.
- Be consistent with statutes, regulations, and laws. The Alaska District is specifically seeking information on historical PLA use in Alaska to evaluate the necessity of an exception to E.O. 14063. Input is requested from both unionized and non-unionized contractors, as well as new entrants to the federal marketplace.
Key Questions for Industry
Interested parties (contractors, project owners, associations, labor unions, construction management firms) are invited to respond to specific questions, including:
- Firm's intent to propose, with or without a PLA requirement.
- Union or non-union status.
- Prior experience with PLAs.
- Knowledge of local PLA use (with supporting documentation on project details, costs, completion, challenges).
- Anticipated time for PLA submission with a proposal.
- Market share of union labor in Fairbanks, AK.
- Potential for PLAs to contribute to cost savings or minimize risk, or conversely, increase costs (with potential dollar/percentage impact).
- Presence of skilled labor shortages or time-sensitive scheduling requirements.
