DOD needs an advance shipment notice prior to shipment of material containing radio frequency 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 contracts delivering certain suppies to certain DOD locations will be subject to this requirement.
