DoD Medical facilities components are categorized as Primary, Secondary, or Tertiary systems. Primary systems include site, structure, and envelope; these are intended to endure 50-100 years with minimal changes. Secondary systems include interior walls, ceilings, floors, distribution systems, and others intended to last 15-50 years. Secondary systems are often replaced in part or whole during a building's lifespan. Tertiary systems are highly changeable and include Furniture, Fixtures, and Equipment (FF&E).
The scope of this IO project will include all Tertiary systems, and also some Secondary systems, necessary to outfit and activate a Defense Health Program (DHP)-funded project.
