FOREWORD
Facilities Criteria (FC) provide functional requirements (i.e., defined by users and operational
needs of a particular facility type) for specific DoD Component(s), and are intended for use with
unified technical requirements published in DoD Unified Facilities Criteria (UFC). FC are
applicable only to the DoD Component(s) indicated in the title, and do not represent unified DoD
requirements. Differences in functional requirements between DoD Components may exist due
to differences in policies and operational needs.
\2\ All construction outside of the United States is also governed by Status of Forces
Agreements (SOFA), Host Nation Funded Construction Agreements (HNFA), and in some
instances, Bilateral Infrastructure Agreements (BIA.) Therefore, the acquisition team must
ensure compliance with the most stringent of the UFC (replace w/ FC), the SOFA, the HNFA,
and the BIA, as applicable. /2/
Because FC are coordinated with unified DoD technical requirements, they form an element of
the DoD UFC system applicable to specific facility types. The UFC system is prescribed by
MIL-STD 3007 and provides planning, design, construction, sustainment, restoration, and
modernization criteria, and applicable to the Military Departments, Defense Agencies, and the
DoD Field Activities. The UFC System also includes technical requirements and functional
requirements for specific facility types, both published as UFC documents and FC documents.
FC are living documents and will be periodically reviewed, updated, and made available to
users as part of the Services’ responsibility for providing criteria for military construction.
Headquarters, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (HQUSACE), Naval Facilities Engineering
Command (NAVFAC), and the Air Force Civil Engineer Center (AFCEC) are responsible for
administration of the UFC system. Defense agencies should contact the preparing service for
document interpretation and improvements. Technical content is the responsibility of the
cognizant DoD working group. Recommended changes with supporting rationale should be
sent to the respective service proponent office by the following electronic form: Criteria Change
Request. The form is also accessible from the Internet site listed below.
FC are effective upon issuance and are distributed only in electronic media from the following
source:
 Whole Building Design Guide web site http://dod.wbdg.org/.
\2\ Refer to UFC 1-200-01, General Building Requirements, for implementation of new
issuances on projects. /2/
