UFRs

Unfunded Requirements (UFRs) are situations, services, or products that you cannot fund with your current Control. Work with your Regional Program Director (RPD) to develop a well-written, well-documented Unfunded Requirements Specification to ensure the best possible outcome of funding your UFRs.

Funding Sources

When searching for potential funding sources for a UFR, an Installation Program Manager (IPM) can leverage Commander, Navy Installations Command (CNIC) sources such as the:

• Installation Program
• Region Program
• Region Comptroller (N8)
• CNIC Comptroller (N8)
• CNIC N9

Priority

Not all UFRS can be funded; therefore, UFRs are assigned a priority based on their necessity:

• Priority 1 – Must Pay
• Priority 2 – Mission Critical
• Priority 3 – One-Time Efficiency
• Priority 4 – Buy Ahead

Obligation Date

The date that funding must be obtained and supported by a procurement action or validated billet is:

• Known as the latest obligation date
• Determined by the IPM

Impact Statement

UFRs can impact your Program in various ways; determine:

• If a UFR warrants submission to your RPD for possible funding. Then, make sure that you have a solid Impact Statement to accompany your submission
• If any goods or services will be terminated if there is of a lack of funding; ensure they are included in your Impact Statement

• Describes what will be eliminated if the UFR is unfunded
• Describes services or Programs that may be significantly reduced if unfunded
• Cites negative customer impact
• Indicates additional costs incurred by the customer or expenses to the Program

Justification Statement

A Justification Statement describes why the requirement is needed citing:

• Policy
• Mission
• Common Output Level Standards (COLS)
• Program Standards

Mitigation Plan

At times it may be necessary to adjust your Program's operations until funding is received. Before you implement a Mitigation Plan, ensure your Installation Commanding Officer (ICO) and RPD review and approve the plan. Consider a plan that:

• Uses compensatory time and/or over-time
• Detail personnel
• Realign available Non-Labor funds to Labor
• Contract for delivery of services
• Uses funds in the Control already allocated to another purpose
• Reduces services, Programs, or hours of operation

UFRs List

Keep a rolling list of all your prioritized UFRs. Purposes for keeping an updated prioritized list include:

• Accurately reflects changes in customer needs
• Reflects current Program requirements and mandates from higher authority
• Enables the Program to meet COLS and Program Standards
• Positions your Program to obtain funding for your UFRs when it is available
• Places specific and current Program UFRs at the top of an ever-evolving list
