Executive Summary

Fair and Open Competition Act or the FOCA Act

This bill prohibits federal construction contracts or controlling documents for federally supported construction projects from requiring or prohibiting project labor agreements.

An agency may exempt a project from this prohibition to avert an imminent threat to public health or safety or to serve the national security.
