5. Life Cycle Standard - Development of procedure/process allowing for the acceptance of future maintenance and operations savings to be accounted for in facility capital costs.
   
6. Federal Acquisition Regulations - Exploration and identification of FAR (procurement) problems, barriers, and disconnects causing the cost/ineffective acquisition of MO equipment and services.
   
7. Monitoring/Maintenance Management Systems - Identification and documentation of the range of monitoring and maintenance systems available, including descriptions, advantages, disadvantages, examples.
   
8. Uniform Reporting System - Development of a uniform maintenance reporting system that could be used for federal agencies to promote uniformity in data collection, analysis, and reporting. DOE's Condition Assessment Survey. Metrics.
   
9. Sharing of Federal MO Manuals and Software - Development of program for reviewing and documenting federal agency MO manuals and software, and promoting the sharing and uniform use of MO manuals and software among federal agencies.
    
10. Space Management Standards - Development of standards for recording, assessing, analyzing, and managing operational space in federal facilities.
    
11. Maintainability Links to Acquisition Criteria - Identification of links between guide specifications and the effective maintainability/operability of federal facilities, and development of a feedback loop between federal facility operators and developer of design criteria. Post occupancy evaluations for maintenance and operations.
    
12. Pre-qualification of Products - Exploration of the effectiveness of developing a process for pre-qualifying federal facility maintenance products and services similar to procurement of supply products and services.
    
13. Building Commissioning Standards - Development of standards for uniform federal pre occupancy acceptance testing of facility operational equipment and systems.
    
14. Operation Productivity - Investigation of quantitative measurements of operational productivity increases due to improved facility maintenance and operations equipment, services, and procedures.
