In addition, Item Unique Identification (IUID) marking, data collection, storage information, retrieval methods, information processing, and transmission of transponder data will greatly enhance systems within the DoD. All Active RFID (aRFID) hardware and software acquired under this contract shall be compliant with ISO 18000-7:2008 standards and the DoD Interoperability Guidelines. RFID-III contracts will provide interoperable ISO/IEC 18000-7:2008 compliant aRFID hardware, software, documentation, and, services to authorized users worldwide. Services include training, warranty and maintenance services, and technical engineering services (TES). Hardware and software delivery and installation, as well as performance of associated training, warranty, maintenance, and documentation shall be required at continental United States (CONUS) and outside the continental United States (OCONUS) government sites. Performance of TES shall be required at CONUS and OCONUS government sites and the contractor facility. Turn-key solutions integrating technology purchased under the RFID-III contracts with existing Government provided AIT and Passive RFID shall be provided under TES Task Orders to provide a transparent solution to the User. To support the warfighter in field operations, the RFID-III contract shall also provide transit cases to safely transport aRFID equipment and related accessories required to install and operate aRFID equipment. The aRFID equipment is required to meet worldwide Department of Defense (DoD) and U. S. Coast Guard, NATO, Coalition Partners, and other Federal Agencies needs in various CONUS and OCONUS locations. Since DoD components have shared RFID technology with Allied partners in joint operations, such as Operation Enduring Freedom and Operation Iraqi Freedom, the RFID- III contract will be available for orders to meet Foreign Military Sales (FMS) requirements in order to provide interoperability for logistics support with Allies.
