1.0 GENERAL REQUIREMENTS

A. The Whole Building Design Guide can be found at https://wbdg.org/ B. The Unified Facilities Guide Specifications (UFGS) can be found at https://wbdg.org/ffc/dod/unified-facilities-guide-specifications-ufgs C. In this document for example “000000” is different from the UFGS format “00 00 00”, it is provided without the spaces. Additionally, the “000000” is not listed in the TOC or the body of the document. This is what is provided in the UFGS “DIVISION 00 - PROCUREMENT AND CONTRACTING REQUIREMENTS”. The information provided in the section picks up the numbering scheme. Thus, the references are assumed to be in reference to the section “000000” without the preceding 00 00. The last two revisions eliminated these extra numbers in the heading.

D. Per UFC 1-300-02: UFGS with the 5th level designator denote UFGS on the same subjects: "10" for Army,"20" for Navy, "30" for Air Force, and "40" for the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) (for example, 01 45 00.00 10). These 5th level designators facilitate management of specifications and provide identification within WBDG, the Internet, and the Specs Intact systems.

E. Do not specify lesser quality requirements than are provided in the UFGS.
