Primary Functional Area : Life Cycle Logistics
Facilities and Infrastructure is a key element of the DoD acquisition process. This discipline encompasses a variety of functions that focus on the life cycle design, construction, resourcing and maintenance of military installations, facilities, civil works projects, test ranges, airfields, roadways, maintenance depots and ocean facilities. Due to the potential long lead times in funding, acquisition or construction, and resourcing, planning must start as early in the acquisition process as possible with frequent validation to ensure requirements are aligned to facilities planning objectives and enablement of responsive support for the Warfighter at the lowest TOC.
Integrated Product Support Elements Guidebook Chapter 11
The objective of the Facilities & Infrastructure IPS Element is to identify, plan, resource, and acquire facilities to enable training, maintenance and storage to maximize effectiveness of system operation and the logistics support system at the lowest TOC. Identify and prepare plans for the acquisition of facilities to enable responsive support for the Warfighter. (Source: DoD Product Support Manager (PSM) Guidebook, Appendix A.
The facilities and infrastructure management portfolio consists of the permanent and semi-permanent real property assets required to support a system, including studies to define types of facilities or facility improvements, location, space needs, environmental and security requirements, and equipment. It includes facilities for training, equipment storage, maintenance, supply storage, ammunition storage, and so forth.
Key Facilities & Infrastructure IPS Element activities according to Appendix A of the DoD Product Support Manager (PSM) Guidebook and the DoD Integrated Product Support (IPS) Element Guidebook include:
- Facilities Plan Management
- Facilities and facility improvement studies design and execution for every IPS Element (i.e., Maintenance Planning and Management, Computer Resources, Training & Training Support, etc.)
- Location selection
- Space requirements determination
- Environmental requirements determination
- Security requirements determination
- Utilities requirements determination
- Storage requirements determination
- Equipment requirements determination
- Existing versus new facilities determination
- Site activation
Programs' responsibilities for facilities and infrastructure vary depending on the scope and outcomes of the program. Generally, for programs delivering weapon systems, coordination with the appropriate installation, test range, or other facilities proponent organizations is required early in the acquisition process. The funding, management, sustainment, upgrade and even disposal of facilities may be the responsibilities of multiple organizations. Program leadership must examine each facilities requirement to determine the appropriate management approach.
