Business Assignment Guide
The PBS Business Assignment Guide establishes current Public Buildings Service (PBS) guidelines for the assignment and measurement of space within GSA's federally owned and leased inventory.
This document provides business users with the methodology and information required for assigning space in the field and within the STAR and regional Computer Aided Facilities Management (CAFM) databases (which are used in conjunction with the national Spatial Data Management (SDM) program). The PBS National Business Assignment Guide promotes consistency and accuracy within GSA's space assignment business processes.
ANSI/BOMA measurement standards (ANSI/BOMA Z65.1-1996) form the basis of the PBS Business Assignment Guide, which provides additional assignment clarification as it pertains to public buildings. This guide provides the reader with details and illustrations of how GSA utilizes ANSI/BOMA as the foundation for space assignment and measurement. Unless otherwise noted in the Assignment Guide, this document should be used as the authoritative standard and guideline for space assignment and measurement within GSA's federally owned and leased inventory.
