The Department of Defense, specifically the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, is conducting market research regarding the potential use of Project Labor Agreements (PLAs) for the construction of the Alaska Army National Guard Supply Complex at Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson (JBER), Alaska. The Corps is soliciting feedback from the construction community to assess the implications of implementing a PLA for this project, which is classified under NAICS code 236220 for Commercial and Institutional Building Construction. This inquiry is part of a broader initiative to ensure that federal construction projects meet efficiency and competition standards, particularly in light of the upcoming requirement for PLAs on large-scale projects starting January 22, 2024. Interested parties are encouraged to submit their comments and insights via email to George Nasif or Melanie DePuy by August 27, 2025, as the information gathered will inform the decision on whether to pursue an exception to the PLA requirement for this specific project.
