RFID Compliance Labeling

RFID Compliance Labeling

There are four major requirements of meeting the DoD RFID labeling mandate. In the document below, we explain the importance of each requirement from a system and technology perspective and recommend ‘best practice’ solutions.

The DoD RFID labeling mandate is a condition of a new or renewed DoD contract that has the Defense Federal Acquisition Regulations Supplement (DFARS) clause stipulated in the language. When the DFARS clause is in your contract, it mandates that you deliver goods with RFID labels and complete the RFID portion of the electronic Advance Shipment Notice.

If you have not received a contract with this clause it will be coming as the DoD rolls out this project on everything from commodities to field equipment. Industry intelligence indicates that a full roll out of this project should materialize by the end of 2007. Complying with the DoD RFID mandate is important as it affects your status as a contractor and eligibility for payment on your delivered goods.
