DoD RFID Policy • RFID DFARS issued 11/14/05 for the first phase requirement • See www.acq.osd.mil/log/rfid/DFARS.htm • Provides for use of Class 1 and Class 0 EPC compliant tags for use on case and pallet level shipments to 2 DLA sites • San Joaquin – Tracy, CA and Susquehanna – New Cumberland, PA • Includes all items in material classifications • Class I, subclass Packaged Operational Rations • Class II, Clothing, Individual Equipment and Tools • Class IV, Personal Demand Items • Class IX, Weapon Systems repair parts and components • Tag specifications to comply to Mil Std. 129. • RFID DFARS for the second phase requirement are at OMB for review and approval is expected Q1 ’06 • This would require additional material Classes IIIP, IV and VIII and additional DLA locations including all USDLA USTRANSCOM, and Direct to Services • RFID DFARS for the third phase would include all suppliers, all Classes and all DoD locations
Options • How to fulfill the DoD RFID Labeling requirements? • Option 1: Print RFID MSL in-house via RFID printer and software • Option 2: Fully outsource RFID MSL label production to a Service Bureau / “Ticket Express” • Option 3: Obtain supplemental RFID label from a Service Bureau / “Ticket Express”
Option 3 – Supplemental Label • Ordering supplemental RFID labels from a Service Bureau • Only need to specify three things • Carton or pallet label • C.A.G.E. code • Quantity needed • Labels arrive with your unique number written to the RFID chip, printed as a traditional barcode and printed in a human readable format • Labels may be ordered in advance without specific order detail • Service Bureau / Ticket Express system will manage serial number usage on an ongoing basis by CAGE code to ensure that each label is unique
Option 3 – Supplemental Label • Usage of supplemental RFID labels in existing DoD applications • DoD orders are processed and MSLs are produced in-plant using your existing process • As DoD orders are labeled, a supplemental RFID carton (or pallet) label is applied beside the MSL label • Adding unique number from the supplemental RFID labels (as MSLs are scanned or keyed into DoD DD250) • Scan NSN number on item to carton for carton content file. • Scan supplemental RFID carton label to build pallet content file. • Scan supplemental RFID pallet label • Upload scanned data to VIM-ASAP for use in WAWF to eliminate data entry errors • Alternatively, unique numbers from the supplemental RFID labels can be simply keyed in
Avery Dennison Ticket Center Option 3 – Supplemental Label Current DoD process flow: Data capture into DD250 • Manual • Scanner Supplemental RFID label:
