§ 102-83.35 Is there a general hierarchy of consideration that agencies must follow in their utilization of space?

Yes. In accordance with part 79, Assignment and Utilization of Space, Federal agencies must follow the hierarchy of consideration, giving first priority to Government-owned and Government-leased buildings. When no existing Government-owned or Government-leased space meets the space need, Federal agencies must follow the hierarchy of geographic consideration in § 102-83.95 when obtaining new space as identified in this subpart.
