Savi provides DOD with RFID supply chain tracking technologies
Savi, a Lockheed Martin company in Mountain View, Calif., won orders worth $6.6 million for standards-based active radio- frequency identification (RFID) tracking technologies and accompanying services under the U.S. Department of Defense (DOD) RFID III procurement contract. The RFID tags, which are affixed to cargo containers and other military supplies, comply with the ISO 18000-7 standard (also called DASH7), enabling near realtime supply visibility and interoperability with allied defense forces and government organizations.
The U.S. Army Information Technology, Commerce and Commercial Contracting Center (ITEC4) issued the procurement orders utilizing competitive procedures under the RFID III contracting vehicle. RFID III was established for active RFID hardware, software, and engineering services, and is open to all U.S. military Services, U.S. federal agencies, and non-U.S. defense forces. The contract includes orders for the Savi ST-654, which is an active RFID tag used to track shipping containers, vehicles, and other large and valuable assets.
