Title: ●Passive Radio Frequency Identification (DFARS Case 2010-D014)
Abstract: This rule amends the Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS) to update requirements relating to the use of passive Radio Frequency Identification (RFID). This DFARS case was initiated at the request of the Office of Logistics and Material Readiness (L&MR) of the Office of the Secretary of Defense (Acquisition, Technology, and Logistics) to revise DFARS 211.275, Radio frequency identification, to 1. Clarify that RFID requirements apply only to passive RFID which is defined in the associated clause at 252.211-7005; 2. Supply a link to a web site in lieu of individually listing ship-to addresses; 3. Enable contracting officers to add tagging requirements to contracts shipping to DoD Activity Address Codes (DoDAACs) not specifically listed at the web site; 4. Make pharmaceuticals subject to the Class VIII RFID tagging requirements; and 5. Revise the clause at 252.211-7006, including the title, to reflect the changes above. As the use of passive RFID technology continues to expand and additional DoD sites gain the capability to use RFID identifier tags, the DFARS regulations associated with passive RFID are being proposed for complementary updates. Because the rule does not add to or delete the existing regulations on RFID use, economic impact is expected to be minimal. The only alternative to the proposed rule is to leave the current DoD RFID requirements intact. However, that alternative would not minimize the economic impact on small entities, as does the proposed rule.
