The Bases Conversion and Development Authority (BCDA) has successfully maintained its ISO 9001:2015 certification for the 12th consecutive year, affirming its compliance with international standards on quality management in the delivery of services aligned with its mandate to transform former military bases into catalysts of national growth and development.

Following its annual surveillance audit, TÜV Rheinland has maintained BCDA’s ISO 9001:2015 certification covering the provision of conversion and development services, as well as real estate management and engineering of land and assets under BCDA’s jurisdiction.

This marks the 12th consecutive year that BCDA has maintained its ISO certification since it was first awarded in 2014. The Authority was last recertified on 20 September 2023, with the certificate valid until 03 September 2026. It undergoes annual surveillance audits to ensure consistent adherence to international standards of quality management.

The surveillance audit found that BCDA has established and maintained an “effective system to ensure compliance with its policy and objectives,” noting that the organization’s management system remains compliant with the requirements of the ISO standard. 

“This achievement reflects BCDA’s unwavering commitment to uphold excellence, integrity, and accountability in the delivery of its mandate. Maintaining this certification is a show of our effort to comply with the highest standards of governance and public service as we build smart, sustainable and future-ready communities for the Filipino people,” said BCDA President and Chief Executive Officer Joshua M. Bingcang.

“We also thank  our ISO internal quality auditors for their continuous guidance and vigilance in helping BCDA maintain its quality management system all these years. Their commitment, along with Management’s watchful and effective supervision, ensure that our processes consistently meet international standards, enabling us to deliver excellent services and transformative projects for the Filipino people,” Engr. Bingcang added. 

As it prepares for recertification in 2026, BCDA remains steadfast in strengthening its systems and processes to deliver excellent services, promote transparency, and implement transformative projects that improve the lives of Filipinos.

Created under Republic Act No. 7227, BCDA is mandated to transform former military assets into economic hubs that spur inclusive and sustainable development. As a key contributor to nation-building, it has developed landmark projects, including Bonifacio Global City, Clark Freeport and Special Economic Zone, Camp John Hay, Poro Point Freeport Zone, and the Bataan Technology Park, which continue to uplift local communities and drive national and regional growth.
