National Business Space Assignment Policy

The purpose of the PBS National Business Space Assignment Policy is to promote consistency and accuracy within PBS’s space assignment business practices throughout GSA.

PBS’s National Business Space Assignment Policy establishes current business practices for the assignment of space within the federally owned and leased inventory. It provides readers with the methodology and information necessary for the correct assignment of space.

Additionally, this policy provides details and illustrations of how PBS uses the commercial American National Standards Institute (ANSI) and Building Owners and Managers Association International (BOMA) Standard Method for Measuring Floor Area in Office Buildings (ANSI/BOMA Z65.1) as the foundation for space measurement and assignment.
