The Unified Facilities Criteria (UFC) system is prescribed by MIL-STD 3007 and provides planning, design, construction, sustainment,
restoration, and modernization criteria, and applies to the Military Departments, the Defense Agencies, and the DoD Field Activities in
accordance with USD(AT&L) Memorandum dated 29 May 2002. UFC will be used for all DoD projects and work for other customers
where appropriate. 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 more stringent of the UFC, the SOFA, the HNFA, and the BIA, as applicable.
UFC are living documents and will be periodically reviewed, updated, and made available to users as part of the Services' responsibility
for providing technical criteria for military construction. Headquarters, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (HQUSACE), Naval Facilities
Engineering Command (NAVFAC), and Air Force Civil Engineer Support Agency (AFCESA) are responsible for administration of the
UFC system. Defense agencies should contact the preparing service for document interpretation and improvements. Technical content
of UFC 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 (CCR). The form is also accessible
from the Internet sites listed below.
UFC 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/.
Hard copies of UFC printed from electronic media should be checked against the current electronic version prior to use to ensure that
they are current. /1/
