Unified Facilities Criteria (UFC)
Unified Facilities Criteria (UFC) documents provide planning, design, construction, sustainment, restoration, and modernization criteria, and apply to the Military Departments, the Defense Agencies, and the DoD Field Activities in accordance with USD(AT&L) Memorandum dated 29 May 2002. UFC are distributed only in electronic media and are effective upon issuance.
The United States 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. Points of contact and procedures for the development and maintenance UFC documents are prescribed in the latest edition of MIL-STD-3007.
See the Matrix of UFCs and their superseded Agency-Specific Documents for the list of UFCs that were formerly Agency-specific documents.
For additional information regarding NAVFAC documents that have been superseded, see the NAVFAC Engineering Criteria Status Report.
