The Fair and Open Competition Act, also known as the FOCA Act, is a federal bill aimed at promoting fair competition in government-funded construction projects. It prohibits federal agencies from requiring project labor agreements (PLAs) that mandate union labor on such projects, ensuring that all contractors and workers have equal access to opportunities. The bill seeks to increase competition, reduce costs, and improve efficiency in federal construction contracts by allowing more contractors to compete for projects regardless of their labor affiliations. This legislation aims to create a level playing field for all contractors and promote transparency and fairness in the bidding process for federally funded construction work.
