The Department of Defense's real property portfolio is the largest within the Federal Government, with over 500,000 buildings and structures at more than 500 installations, comprising over 25 million acres of land spread throughout the United States, U.S. territories, and over 30 foreign countries.
The Real Property Accountability (RPA) office issues OSD real property policy, maintains data standards across the DoD through the Real Property Information Model, guides Business Enterprise Architecture, and works to ensure common business processes and data interoperability across the real property life cycle. The RPA office serves as a focal point with the Office of Management and Budget and other federal agencies on all matters dealing with real property inventory, benchmarking and performance metrics. The RPA office facilitates collaboration between DoD, Federal, and State organizations to provide a foundation for achieving real property efficiencies through policy, standardized data, systems and processes.
The RPA office facilitates analysis and reporting of the real property portfolio through the Real Property Portal in the Data Analytics and Integration Support (DAIS) platform. The Military Departments and Washington Headquarters Services physically account for DoD real property under their jurisdiction, control and management in their Accountable Property Systems of Record (APSR). DAIS issues the Real Property Unique Identifiers (RPUIDs) and Real Property Site Unique Identifiers (RPSUIDs) used to uniquely identify assets and sites in the APSRs and across systems. DAIS also receives current updates from the APSRs and serves as the DoD repository for all real property data. Inventory changes are reflected in DAIS as facilities are acquired, maintained, consolidated, recapitalized, realigned, or disposed. DAIS data is the foundation for the annual OSD Real Property Asset Database (RPAD) that is used for reporting to the Federal Real Property Profile Management System, Congressional reporting, the Base Structure Report, the Facilities Sustainment Model, and a myriad of other DoD reports. In addition, DAIS data feeds multiple other systems to include Enterprise Sustainment Management System (eSMS) and supports user access to custom data sets.
