Alien Technology Wins DOD Contract

Alien Technology has been awarded a Blanket Purchase Agreement or BPA. In an agreement with the Army Contracting Agency Information Technology, Alien Technology will supply the Army with passive Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) Electronic Product Code 1 tags. These tags will allow for standardization and operability requirements for all Government users of passive RFID EPC-1 tags and their respective components. Frontline Solutions writes:

The BPA serves all of the Department of Defense (DoD) branches with access to a common, integrated structure for logistic identification, tracking, locating, and monitoring of commodities and assets. Use of this technology is intended to assist in data collection, storage information, retrieval methods, information processing, and transmission of tag data across all branches of the DoD.
