Unisys Gets DoD RFID Contract
Unisys, which began working with the DoD on RFID technology 13 years ago to maintain and enhance an in-transit visibility system for supplies using RFID, this week won a contract for several million with the U.S. Department of Defense.
Unisys currently tracks around 125,000 shipments of supplies each week, including ammunition, food/rations and water, medical supplies, vehicles, vehicle parts and aircraft, using RFID tags.
The contract is worth about $14.7 million over a year, with further three one-year options on the table that could boost the value up to $57 milion, according to media outlet Computer Weekly, which broke the news today. ![[end]](/resources/bullet/rfidnews-4.gif)
