FAR 22.501 prescribes policies and
procedures to implement Executive
Order 13502, February 6, 2009, which
encourages Federal agencies to consider
the use of a project labor agreement
(PLA), as they may decide appropriate,
on large-scale construction projects,
where the total cost to the Government
is more than $25 million, in order to
promote economy and efficiency in
Federal procurement. A PLA is a prehire collective bargaining agreement
with one or more labor organizations
that establishes the terms and
conditions of employment for a specific
construction project. FAR 22.503(b)
provides that an agency may, if
appropriate, require that every
contractor and subcontractor engaged in
construction on the project agree, for
that project, to negotiate or become a
party to a project labor agreement with
one or more labor organizations if the
agency decides that the use of project
labor agreements will—
(1) Advance the Federal Government’s
interest in achieving economy and
efficiency in Federal procurement,
producing labor-management stability,
and ensuring compliance with laws and
regulations governing safety and health,
equal employment opportunity, labor
and employment standards, and other
matters; and,
(2) Be consistent with law.
