NAVFAC Washington Project Labor Agreement Survey Due Nov. 10 For Quantico, Virginia Contract
The U.S. Naval Facilities Engineering Command (NAVFAC) Washington has issued a survey soliciting comments from the construction industry about the potential use of a government-mandated project labor agreement (PLA) on a federal contract to construct the Embassy Security Guard BEQ and OPS Facility at the Marine Corps Base in Quantico, Virginia.
TheTruthAboutPLAs.com encourages the merit shop contracting community to respond to this PLA survey. Tell NAVFAC that government-mandated PLAs reduce competition, increase costs, and impede the economy and efficiency of government contracting.
To review and respond to the NAVFAC survey, which is part of a broader sources sought information request, click here. Here is the link to the PLA survey form provided by NAVFAC. Both large and small businesses are permitted to submit the PLA survey and do not have to submit the small business sources sought information request that was included in the solicitation.
Survey responses to Solicitation Number N40080-16-R-4505 should be sent via email to Romona Skeete ([email protected]) by 2pm EST on Tuesday, November 10, 2015.

ABC is Leading the Fight Against Government-Mandated PLAs in Federal Contracting
NAVFAC and other federal agencies have issued more than 260 similar project labor agreement surveys requesting information about the potential use of PLAs on specific construction projects across the country as a result of regulations and federal agency policies stemming from President Obama’s pro-government-mandated PLA Executive Order 13502, which encourages federal agencies to mandate PLAs on a case-by-case basis for federal construction projects exceeding $25 million in total cost.
TheTruthAboutPLAs.com has taken the opportunity to respond to all PLA surveys as they are issued and encourages the merit shop contracting community to do the same. Responding with accurate and timely information is critical and effective at creating more work for qualified merit shop contractors and their skilled employees. Due to our collective advocacy, none of these projects have had PLAs mandated on them.
Learn how ABC is still winning the fight against government-mandated PLAs in federal contracting.
