Facilities Portfolio Management Tool (FPMT)

New for FY24: All leases and subscription-based IT arrangements (SBITAs) that exceed the state’s capitalization threshold in SAAM 30.20.20, must be entered in DebtBook to track for accounting purposes. Refer to the What's New with FPMT job aid for a high-level overview of system updates.

Implemented in 2017, the Facilities Portfolio Management Tool (FPMT) uses a secure, vendor-hosted software solution to track and manage data. FPMT is the system of record for the state’s facilities inventory. Data informs the state’s biennial Six-Year Facilities Plan, budget decisions and comprehensive emergency management planning. For additional information, refer to OFM’s Facilities Oversight and Planning web page.

Frequently Asked Questions

FPMT access is restricted to Washington state employees. All users must request an account through the system following the instructions in the Request New User Account job aid. The default user role is read only. FPMT agency administrators must approve elevated permissions. 

If a new user requires edit rights, the agency administrator must send an email to the OFM Help Desk at HeretoHelp@ofm.wa.gov. The email subject line should read:

FPMT Account Request Add Edit - User Name - Agency Number (e.g., FPMT Account Request Add Edit - John Doe - 310)

All new users with edit rights must take the Intro to FPMT eLearning course. Agency administrators should indicate in their email to the OFM Help Desk that the new user has completed the required training.

Agencies must designate an FPMT agency administrator to approve edit rights. 

OFM IT maintains a list of FPMT agency administrators. If an individual should no longer be designated as an administrator, contact the OFM Help Desk.

FPMT uses modern technology with standard navigation tools and is flexible enough to expand as new business needs are identified. Some of the additional benefits include:

  • Data errors are reduced by preventing duplicate records and enforcing data integrity. Required data fields are clearly labeled, and the system will provide user-friendly error messages if you select save and have not provided data for required fields.
  • Data is secured by user roles with security/permissions to help ensure agencies control and manage their data. FPMT maintains a record of who made system changes and when those changes were made.
  • Search and filter tools can be used to navigate the system. Menu-driven structures provide the ability to drill-down for additional information, and standard pre-built reports are also available for common business processes.
  • Interactive maps help agencies visualize facilities information. The mapping functionality is helpful for understanding the state’s facilities inventory and for identifying opportunities to improve space utilization for specific agencies and across the enterprise. Historical data retention shows how the facilities portfolio changes over time.
