The U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs Office of Acquisition and Logistics issued a class deviation waiving the application of Federal Acquisition regulations implementing President Biden’s project labor agreements (PLA) Executive Order on current and future solicitations for large-scale construction contracts expected to cost $35 million or more. The deviation is justified by the January 19, 2025 U.S. Court of Claims ruling on several bid protests finding the implementation of the Biden PLA Executive Order violated “full and open competition” requirements under federal procurement law.
