The PLA Questionnaire, dated November 2025, is designed to gather information regarding the potential use of Project Labor Agreements (PLAs) for the construction of the B-21 Radio Frequency (RF) Hangar at Whiteman Air Force Base (AFB), Missouri. The questionnaire targets companies involved in federal procurement, seeking their insights on the implications of PLAs. Key areas of inquiry include local PLA usage, skilled labor shortages, time-sensitive project requirements, and how PLAs might affect economy and efficiency in federal procurement. It also asks for reasons against PLA use, additional considerations for both use and non-use, and the impact of PLAs on project costs and small business participation (both as subcontractors and prime contractors). Finally, the questionnaire assesses a company's willingness to submit a proposal if a PLA requirement is in place, aiming to inform the government's decision-making on PLA implementation for this specific project.

The Corps of Engineers Kansas City District is soliciting comments from the construction community  
addressing the potential use of Project Labor Agreements (PLA) for a large scale construction project (between $50,000,000  
and $100,000,000) located at Whiteman AFB, MO.

This was previously submitted under Solicitation #W912DQ25RA006 for which responses were received. WE are asking for updated responses now that projects have been advertised in the area with a PLA requirement that were not successful and need updated input from industry to be able to make informed decisions.
