The United States Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) announced that ODIN technologies have been awarded the contract to deploy passive RFID equipment throughout 26 facilities globally by the end of 2007.
The award is up to a maximum of $7,000,000. ODIN was selected out of a competitive field of eleven bid responses that included some of the world's largest systems integrators. The project will begin immediately.
The objective of the contract is to have all Defense Distribution Centers capable of receiving incoming shipments tagged with passive RFID. Since 2005, the DLA has required some suppliers to add RFID tags to cases and pallets of select military supplies being shipped to two of its busiest distribution centers.
The intent of the contract is to extend the RFID capability to all distribution centers worldwide. The contract will enable the use of passive RFID tags broadly within the military supply chain.
ODIN technologies President and CEO Patrick J. Sweeney II commented, "We are very proud to be chosen for the most important RFID deployment to date. The chance to support the war fighter and help make Department of Defense logistics faster, cheaper and more effective is a great opportunity.”
“ODIN's RFID methodologies and software tools were developed to address the type of challenge faced by the Department of Defense today. The strength of our team and the years of hard work are evident by this award. We are humbled to have been chosen over world class competition."
