The Associated General Contractors of America (AGCA) strongly supports full and open competition among general and specialty contractors and their suppliers and service providers. The construction industry's health and integrity depend on every qualified firm having an equal opportunity to compete.

AGCA recommends that owners select the delivery systems that best fit their particular needs but with due regard for their independent interest in an open and competitive construction industry. AGCA maintains that alternative delivery systems are appropriate for the public sector if the selection process is as open, fair, objective, cost–effective and free of political influence as the competitive bid system.

To protect the health and integrity of the construction industry, AGCA will make an aggressive effort to equip its members to sustain full and open competition for any and all project delivery systems.
