    PLA Sources Sought Question Set 10.01.2024.pdf
    The document outlines the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 22.503 regarding the use of Project Labor Agreements (PLAs) in federal procurement. It presents a set of assessment determination tools specifically for the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) to evaluate the potential benefits and drawbacks of adopting a PLA for particular projects. The inquiry includes seven key questions: the prevalence of PLAs in the local area, local labor shortages for required trades, time-sensitive scheduling issues, reasons supporting or opposing the use of a PLA for economic efficiency, and any additional considerations for both the acceptance and rejection of PLAs. This structured assessment aims to facilitate informed decision-making regarding the application of PLAs, ultimately ensuring that federal procurement processes align with efficiency and economic goals while taking local context into account. The focus on documentation substantiates the importance of data-driven evaluations in determining the appropriateness of PLAs in various local project contexts.
