[...] F&I metrics provide a measure of the condition and use of F&I, the value and costs of maintenance and replacement needs, the relationship between an asset and its mission, and the environmental sustainability of the laboratory site. [...] Introduction Federal laboratories of the Department of Defense (DOD), Department of Energy (DOE), and Department of Homeland Security (DHS) are integral to the science and technology enterprise and the national and homeland security missions of the United States. [...] The present value of the minimum lease payments over the life of the lease does not exceed 90 percent of the fair market value of the asset at the beginning of the lease term.
