23 June 2025 UPDATED:
The Government is revising the estimated solicitation date for this requirement due to internal delays related to the evaluation of a Project Labor Agreement (PLA). The consideration of the PLA has gone through multiple changes, which has impacted the timeline for finalizing the solicitation.
We understand this may have caused confusion and appreciate your patience. The updated estimated solicitation release date is on or about mid to end of July. Further updates will be provided as available.
