About this file

This document is a Project Labor Agreement (PLA) Request for Information (RFI) questionnaire for a naval construction project in Maryland. The project involves building an aircraft development and maintenance facility, with a total estimated construction value between $100 million and $250 million. The design-bid-build project will span approximately 801 calendar days and includes constructing a high-bay steel-frame hangar, aircraft parking apron, and supporting infrastructure for research, development, testing, and evaluation of a new aircraft platform.

The Naval Facilities Engineering System Command (NAVFAC) Washington is soliciting public input on potential Project Labor Agreements (PLAs) for this project, in compliance with Executive Order 14063. The questionnaire seeks detailed feedback from potential contractors, unions, and businesses regarding labor availability, wage rates, contractor interest, and potential project impacts. Responses are due by 1400 on 10 June 2025, to be submitted via email to specified Navy contacts. The survey is for planning purposes only and will not result in a contract award, with all submitted information to be held confidentially.
