Data Science and Analytics
Real Property Planning & Analysis
Managing real property assets is mission-critical for the Department of Defense, requiring a balance of installation readiness, mission support, and budget constraints. For over 30 years, VISTA has helped DoD leaders turn facility data into actionable insights through advanced analytics and consulting.
Our RPPA services span the full asset lifecycle—from inventory validation and future requirements forecasting to execution tracking and predictive modeling for sustainment, restoration, and modernization (SRM). We integrate tools like PFCR, FCI, BIM, and geospatial data to optimize MILCON and FSRM investments and support long-term infrastructure planning.
These services also advance sustainability and climate resilience, while strengthening Data Science & Analytics through authoritative facility-level datasets that power dashboards, readiness reports, and enterprise decision systems—delivering clarity, confidence, and foresight.
Our Capabilities
Effective planning ensures that resources, budgets, and facilities are aligned with mission readiness requirements. VISTA supports this process by validating real property inventories, ensuring compliance with federal reporting standards, and assessing facility conditions to identify gaps and risks. We forecast population and mission demands, apply space utilization benchmarks, and conduct cost-benefit analyses to compare leasing, construction, and sustainment options. Our experts also support Military Construction (MILCON) planning and Facilities Sustainment, Restoration, and Modernization (FSRM) forecasting. By integrating with Installation Status Report (ISR) systems, VISTA delivers authoritative planning data that feeds into readiness dashboards and decision support systems.
- Facility inventory validation and compliance
- Usage, occupancy, and condition assessments
- Population projections and space benchmarking
- Requirements modeling and cost-benefit analysis (lease vs. own)
- Military Construction (MILCON) project planning and forecasting
- Facilities sustainment, restoration, and modernization (FSRM) planning
- Integration with Installation Status Report (ISR) systems for readiness reporting
Execution support transforms strategic facility plans into operational outcomes. VISTA provides end-to-end program management, from developing work breakdown structures (WBS) to implementing project tracking systems and managing financial execution. We ensure annual data feeds to Federal Real Property systems are accurate and timely, while compliance reporting and performance metrics keep programs aligned with federal and DoD standards. Our teams are experienced in applying frameworks such as AR 210-14, DoDI 4165 series, and OSD readiness directives, ensuring execution aligns with policy as well as mission objectives. By pairing financial oversight with project tracking, VISTA enables leaders to monitor progress, measure results, and adjust strategies in real time.
- Program management and WBS development
- Project tracking and financial execution
- Annual feeds to Federal Real Property systems
- Compliance reporting and performance metrics
- Support aligned with DoD guidance (AR 210-14, DoDI 4165 series, OSD installation readiness frameworks)
Analytics and modeling provide leaders with foresight into the lifecycle of facilities and infrastructure. VISTA leverages predictive analytics, facility indices, and advanced modeling techniques to anticipate long-term requirements and optimize investment strategies. Through tools like Predictive Facility Condition Reporting (PFCR) and the Facility Condition Index (FCI), we quantify facility health and forecast future maintenance and repair costs. Geospatial mapping and digital twin modeling provide spatial and real-time visualizations, while predictive models highlight tradeoffs between sustainment, restoration, and modernization. Our portfolio optimization approaches integrate sustainability and climate resilience metrics, ensuring that infrastructure planning supports not only today’s missions but also tomorrow’s challenges. These analytics feed directly into the Data Science & Analytics pillar, powering readiness reporting and long-term investment decisions.
