Quick Summary
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Alaska District, has issued a Special Notice/Request for Information (RFI) to conduct market research regarding the potential use of a Project Labor Agreement (PLA) for the FY27 Design Bid Build project EIE466 ADAL JPARC Range Operations Center at Eielson Air Force Base, Alaska. This is not a solicitation for proposals. Responses are due March 11, 2026.
Purpose
The Government is seeking industry input to determine if a PLA would advance economy and efficiency, promote adequate competition at a fair and reasonable price, and be consistent with regulations for this specific construction project. This RFI will help decide if an exception to the mandatory use of PLAs (per E.O. 14063, FAR Case 2022-003, for large-scale federal construction projects) is necessary.
