The FY 2023 Department of Defense (DoD) Unified Facilities Criteria (UFC) Program focuses on streamlining facility planning and construction to eliminate duplications and enhance reliance on private sector standards. Key accomplishments include achieving a 78% unification rate for UFC documents and a 77% rate for Unified Facilities Guide Specifications (UFGS), publishing 17 new or revised UFCs and 84 UFGSs, and managing over 1,500 Criteria Change Requests (CCRs). The program received a significant funding increase, emphasizing military resilience in response to climate change. Notable publications included UFCs addressing military medical facilities and construction cost estimating. The initiative encompasses updates relevant to Arctic criteria, solar roofing installations, and microgrid technologies as mandated by the National Defense Authorization Act. It also successfully transferred the SpecsIntact program from NASA, enhancing technical guidance for projects. The UFC Program emphasizes the development and maintenance of criteria documents while addressing issues such as indoor environmental quality, thus improving livability and retention in DoD facilities. The document provides a structured overview of program authority, organization, administration, resources, and future projects, serving as a critical guide for government RFPs and facility construction across military operations.
