The Sustainment Management System (SMS) Technical Center of Expertise (TCX) now has an official LinkedIn page! Be sure to follow the page to stay up to date with the latest SMS program updates, connect with others using SMS tools, and see the latest job openings.
The SMS program has widespread use as the DoD standard for the assessment of its installation real property infrastructure, including buildings - its largest asset class. The Department has implemented the SMS assessment approach on over 1.6 billion square feet of building facilities – more than two times the square footage of all commercial office space in Manhattan, NY. DoD services use the information and analysis results provided by SMS to build their long-range budgetary forecasts for facilities sustainment, restoration, modernization, demolition, and new military construction requirements, and to visualize and communicate the impact of different funding scenarios. SMS tools are also supporting other Federal agencies beyond DoD, and innovative tech transfer licensing has enabled state and local municipalities, as well as private entities, to benefit from the use of these tools for condition assessment, work needs identification, and facilities investment analysis.
