Military Bases and Infrastructure

Identifies companies and other entities that design, construct, materially modernize, or provide prime integrated operation of purpose-built or materially hardened installations directly supporting armed-force operations. Qualifying infrastructure includes operational air and naval bases, hardened command facilities, military depots and arsenals, weapons-storage structures, launch or test installations not classified elsewhere, and deployable field infrastructure. Ordinary civil construction, mixed-use property, passive ownership, routine cleaning or catering, generic utilities, minor maintenance, and equipment supply without infrastructure responsibility are excluded.

How to read this definition

Inclusion criteria describe evidence that can establish this activity. Exclusion criteria identify circumstances that do not establish it on that basis alone. The evaluation remains connected to its taxonomy version and supporting evidence.

Can establish this activity

Included when supported

Evidence may support involvement when it matches one or more of these inclusion criteria.

4 criteria
  1. 01Criterion

    Include prime design, construction, or material modernization of operational military bases, airfields, naval facilities, hardened headquarters, training ranges, or comparable armed-force installations.

  2. 02Criterion

    Include purpose-built military depots, arsenals, ammunition or weapons-storage facilities, secure maintenance complexes, and hardened operational storage infrastructure.

  3. 03Criterion

    Include prime integrated operation or facilities management of an operational military installation where the entity has responsibility for multiple mission-critical site functions.

  4. 04Criterion

    Include deployable field camps, hardened shelters, protective structures, rapid-runway or expeditionary-base systems, and comparable infrastructure specifically designed for military operations.

Does not establish this activity on its own

Excluded on this basis alone

These circumstances do not establish this activity unless separate evidence also meets an inclusion criterion.

7 criteria
  1. 01Criterion

    Historical-Only Military Infrastructure Involvement

    Defined as: Entities with verified past design, construction, material modernization, or integrated operation of qualifying military bases or infrastructure, where reliable evidence establishes that the qualifying activity has fully ceased, been divested, transferred, dismantled, terminated, or otherwise ended and no current qualifying involvement remains. Historical-only activity does not qualify as current involvement. Preserve the historical record separately with the activity period, effective cessation or transfer date, relevant entity, product, programme, facility, or contract, and supporting evidence. Absence of recent evidence alone is not sufficient to establish cessation.

  2. 02Criterion

    Exclude ordinary civil construction, housing, offices, commercial airports or ports, mixed-use property, and work that is not materially military-specific.

  3. 03Criterion

    Exclude passive landlords, real-estate investors, financiers, and property owners without design, construction, modernization, or integrated operational responsibility.

  4. 04Criterion

    Exclude routine utilities, cleaning, catering, landscaping, waste, security, and facilities services unless they form part of a prime integrated mission-critical base-operation contract.

  5. 05Criterion

    Exclude standalone equipment, furniture, vehicles, weapons, communications, and materials supplied without responsibility for the qualifying infrastructure.

  6. 06Criterion

    Exclude environmental remediation, demolition, site restoration, and decommissioning where the entity does not also construct, modernize, or operate qualifying active military infrastructure.

  7. 07Criterion

    Exclude minor repairs, ordinary maintenance, one-off subcontracting, and unverified military-site references.
