Unified Facilities Guide Specifications (UFGS)

This page is a source of Specifications to be used by in-house and A/Es designers when preparing project specifications for the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Seattle District. The specifications are divided into two sections.

  • The first section is the UFGS specifications. Electronic copies of the latest UFGS may be downloaded from the Whole Building Design Guide website. On that page click the “Unified Facilities Guide Specifications (UFGS)” link, go to the appropriate specification section, and click on the appropriate ZIP link to download the SpecsIntact file(s).
  • The second Seattle District Specifications are to be used for including Seattle District's regional and customer specific requirements.
HOW TO USE THE SPECIFICATIONS

When selecting specifications to be used on a project the first step is to select the "UFGS" as applicable to the project. These shall be edited per requirements in related Engineer Regulations.  The "NPS" are for obtaining the information that needs to go in the final project specifications using UFGS. Use UFGS specs that have numbers only or have "A" followed by numbers.

The AE prepares specifications for Divisions 2 through Division 16; Seattle District prepares specifications for Division 1, with AE input for the following: Bid Schedule, Specific Site Conditions, Table 1 - Minimum Testing, Submittal Register ENG FORM 4288
