ALVIN BUSH DAM ROCK WALL STABILIZATION PROJECT W912DR25X18N9

On 02 June 2025, the Principal Director of the Defense Pricing, Contracting, and Acquisition Policy rescinded Class Deviation 2025-O0002 and its Revision 1 which removed the mandatory requirement to include Project Labor Agreements in all large-scale construction projects greater than $35M. By rescinding the class deviation, contracting officers are required to follow the requirements for project labor agreements as implemented at Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 22.5. Accordingly, the Baltimore District is performing market research to assess market conditions to determine if an exception to the PLA requirements should be pursued. Specifically, the Baltimore District is requesting specific information as whether the inclusion of the PLA requirement would substantially reduce the number of potential offerors to such a degree that adequate competition at a fair and reasonable price could not be achieved (FAR 22.504(d)(1)(ii))
