DOD - UID Compliance
Need information and assistance on achieving DOD UID compliance?

Unique Identification (IUID) is a new method established by the Department of Defense (DOD) to identify its tangible assets. Suppliers are required to encode the IUID data into a 2D Data Matrix symbol and directly apply it to specific tangible items to help facilitate item tracking in DOD business systems. The data will also be used for management, financial, accountability, and asset management purposes.
