DOD needs an advance shipment notice
prior to shipment of materiel containing radio freqency
identification (RFID) tag data. DOD receiving personnel use the
advance shipment notice to associate the unique identification
encoded on the RFID tag with the corresponding shipment. Use of
RFID technology permits DOD to create an automated and
sophisticated end-to-end supply chain, thereby improving visibility
of assets and permitting delivery of supplies to the warfighter
more quickly. DOD contractors delivering certain supplies to
certain DOD locations will be subject to this requirement.
