Richard Markuson recently wrote about the coalition efforts of Business Coalition for Fair Competition.
“They recently wrote President Donald J. Trump to ask he rescind the Obama-era executive order13502 that encourages federal agencies to use PLAs on any federal or federally assisted project of $25 million or more. The coalition wrote that PLAs prevent contractors from being able to compete for work and that, in a time of construction growth and a limited workforce, the holdover policy did not make sense. Association members suggested the president replace the executive order with two other orders that would ban PLAs on federal or federally funded projects.”
