About this opportunity
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) Sacramento District has published a Special Notice for market research regarding Project Labor Agreements (PLAs) for the F-35 Maintenance Facility Phase 1 construction project at Hill Air Force Base in Utah. This notice specifically addresses PLA evaluation only and does not include an actual solicitation for construction services. The project involves constructing a multi-dock medium bay fighter aircraft maintenance hangar with composite aircraft corrosion control capabilities, estimated to cost between $100-250 million. The facility will include parts storage, equipment areas, back shops, administrative areas, paint and de-paint bays, along with all supporting infrastructure and utilities. The construction will comply with Department of Defense building requirements and antiterrorism/force protection standards.
The primary purpose of this Special Notice is to conduct market research on the potential use of Project Labor Agreements as required by Executive Order 14063, which mandates PLAs for federal construction projects exceeding $35 million unless an exception applies. Contractors and industry professionals are invited to complete an attached questionnaire providing feedback on their PLA experiences, including benefits, challenges, and perspectives on how PLAs impact federal procurement efficiency. Responses must be submitted via email to Contract Specialist Natalia Gomez by 2:00 p.m. Mountain Standard Time on August 21, 2025, with the project number W9123825RA012 included in the subject line. No specific eligibility criteria are outlined for participation in this market research phase, as this is solely an information-gathering exercise to help USACE determine whether a PLA exception might apply to the future construction solicitation.
