- Description
- Statement of Work For Unique Identification Device (UID) 1.0 Background Item Identification has traditionally been a requirement for DoD programs. The processes affected by item identification include configuration management, defense specifications, technical documentation, engineering drawing practices, identification marking, transportation, inventory operations, maintenance and logistics support. Item marking requirements were traditionally expressed in human readable information (HRI) inscribed on data plates, directly on the item, or on packaging. More recently, automatic identification and data capture (AIDC) technology media, such as bar codes, contact memory buttons, and radio frequency identification, have been used to supplement the HRI markings, either as labels, tags, or direct part markings. IUID uses AIDC processes to collect data about an item through media that contains machine-readable information (MRI) in the form of a two-dimensional Data Matrix symbol. The implementation of IUID requirements means that qualifying items must be marked with MRI encoded into the Data Matrix symbol. The encoded Data Matrix symbol is called the Unique Item Identifier (UII). It is marked on an item through the use of a label or by applying the symbol directly to the surface of an item (direct part marking). The basic IUID requirements are contained in an Acting Under Secretary of Defense (USD) Acquisition, Technology and Logistics (AT&L) Memorandum of July 29, 2003. On December 23, 2004, the policy was extended to legacy items in inventory and operational use, including Government Property in the Possession of Contractors (PIPC). On May 12, 2005, additional policy updates were provided. A DFARS final Rule regarding IUID, entitled Item Identification and Valuation, was published in the Federal Register on 22 April 2005 (DFARS Case 2003-D081). MIL-STD-130L, Change 1, which specifies Identification Marking of U.S. Military Property, was published on 20 December 2004 to include practices for IUID. It provides increased insight and guidance for the implementation of MRI processes for IUID. HRI item identification may also be necessary for some end users of the identified item. Finding the most effective use of both, either singly or in combination, is the prime responsibility of the Government requiring activity. In order to meet the DoD requirements, Naval Explosive Ordnance Disposal Technology Division (NAVEODTECHDIV) is procuring an IUID Integrated System to mark various legacy systems and equipment in support of In-Service Engineering Agent (ISEA) and organic depot efforts. 2.0 Scope of Work The contractor shall provide an integrated solution for a proven IUID implementation solution. The contractor shall provide a turn-key solution that provides the following: * Integrated System * IUID Registry Interface and IUID Lifecycle Management Software * CO2 Laser Marking System * Verification System * Reader/Scanner * Label Media 3.0 Description of Work The contractor shall provide the products and services as outlined in the following sections. 3.1 UID Registry Interface and IUID Lifecycle Management Software The UID Registry Interface and IUID Lifecycle Management Software shall provide an integrated single server based application [CLIN 0001]. The application shall be flexible and customizable, allowing tailoring to multiple environments for various programs and applications. The contractor shall provide a software solution capable of managing the IUID process and data requirements from inception to disposal for both, new acquisitions and legacy items. The software solution shall support multiple data input approaches. The management software shall provide the following capabilities: * Data search capability * Generation of IUID's * Properly formatting the data matrices with guaranteed uniqueness * Support outputs to marking devices or printers as well as other related software * Communicate with all of the marking, verifying, and scanning devices used for IUID management and implementation * Provide an IUID production data audit trail to include verification and validation of the mark * Establish and maintain communication with the IUID Registry through direct submission in the form of an XML file using the latest schema * Track changes that occur in the IUID lifecycle and automatically update the IUID Registry * Communicate with legacy software and systems without modification * Support Microsoft Windows driven outputs. * Comply with all current DFAR requirements * Easily upgraded as DoD IUID requirements evolve * Maintenance agreement that supports software upgrades and help-desk support for a one year period. 3.2 CO2 Laser Marking System The contractor shall provide a CO2 laser marking system [CLIN 0002] capable of direct part marking on end items and embedded components.
