Hello Eloy,
I am not aware of the content of the Db2 performance solution pack.
But yes to install tool for Db2 you need to install first the Tool customizer (TCz):
IBM Tools Base for z/OS
V01.05.00
Program Number 5655-V93
FMIDs HAHN150, HTCZ110, HAKP150, H30S240
for Use with z/OS.
It consist of a number of panels that enable you to customize a product.
We have used it for DB2 Accelerator Loader and the Automation Tool for Db2.
Just for you to know if a product is meant to be installed with TCz and for some reason you decide not to use it and get problems you might have problem if opening a case to support. For example, it happened once that for re-bind we used same jobs as the one created the first time with TCz, without running trough the entire job generation process and we had problems , opening a case they asked us to run trough the entire process.
So keep in mind that every time you do maintenance you will have to run through the processes again. The tricky part is the first time you set it up, then it should become easier since you have a 'Product customization library' and a 'Discover output data set' and metadata libraries for each product that should contain all information to know handle your environment.
One more suggestion, since most of these tools use a Db2 common code (SFEC) we have decided to have the same SMPE environment for all tools and the Tool Customizer.
Hope this helps.
Regards Chiara

Seeking direction on how to install these products in DB2 v11 on ZOS 2.2. Current issue is do I also need to install IBM TOOLS BASE FOR Z/OS to customize or begin the installation process?
Any comments would be appreciated.
