Agenda Unique Identification (UID); Item Unique Identification; Unique Item Identifier (UII) UID/IUID Policy Contracting for IUID Marking Items WAWF and IUID Registry Planning IUID Implementation PM’s IUID Program Plan Summary, References & Resources This brief will provide a brief overview of the Unique Identification (UID) initiative, a detailed examination of DoD AT&L’s Item Unique Identification IUID) Program, and frequent reference to Unique Item Identifier (UII) that are the data elements marked on items in accordance with specified standards. The brief will present why DoD has undertaken these efforts and the benefits to the operational and logistic commanders, as well as acquisition community, financial community, and maintenance communities when there is a universe of uniquely identified personnel, locations, units, and of course items. There is first a need to understand the difference between the macro UID initiative and the IUID program. Then to understand the IUID program including definition of a IUID, contracting for IUID, what needs to be marked, how marks are constructed (UII), what information about an item needs to be reported, and specifically what is expected of Program Managers regarding implementation of IUID in new and legacy systems. This is an information brief and will not provide the level of detail that some of you will need on specific aspects of the IUID program – for those needs we do provide pointers to resources during and at the end of the brief and you are encouraged to use those resources. Quote is from Michael Wynne, Acting under Secretary of Defense (AT&L) in an interview with DAU Defense AT&L Jan/Feb 04 issue “Unique identification is the ability to physically distinguish one item from another…We view a unique identifier as a set of data for assets that: is globally unique and unambiguous ensures data integrity and data quality throughout life supports multi-faceted business applications and users” 2

DoD Vision for Unique Identification (UID)
For efficient and effective management of resources: Establish an Approach for DoD, its Coalition Partners, and Industry That enables consistent, reliable, and accurate assignment/use Of through life and globally unique identification that is Integrated across tangible items, real property, force management, people, organizations, locations, Etc. The quote is a concatenation of the two objectives for DoD’s UID program. 3

Déjà vu All Over Again . . . Yogi Berra
Marsh’s Supermarket Troy, Ohio June 26, 1974 Starting out recognizing there is a correlation between the introduction of bar codes to retail and DoD’s introduction of UID. Just as bar codes over time transformed retail in terms of data available to mange stock – what sells, what does not sell; how much stock is in the store; ability to change prices at the register vice on the shelve, etc., so UID will greatly improve DoD’s knowledge of assets, and ability to manage them. And while the first bar coding was done in the 70s, it was not until the 90s that bar codes were prevalent, a “must have” on every item for sale, so it will be a number of years before UID becomes prevalent and a driver of decisions. Bottom line is as bar codes transformed retail, so UID will be an agent for DoD transformation.

UID—Integrated Situational Awareness of People, Places and Things
Site UID Creation Site UID Creation UID—Integrated Situational Awareness of People, Places and Things Today -- No UIIs To Be State -- UIIs No integrated planning view Integrated planning view Requirement: Capability to integrate force structure planning for identifying and constituting deployable combined force modules. Who is available? With what equipment? Where are they now? How long can we support them? People, things and property related to force structure. Deployment and constitution options can be continuously evaluated. Required items identified, pre-positioned and tracked with RFID. UID IS THE MACRO PROGRAM; This vu-graph illustrates the “now” and “to be” states. Now there are not the enterprise wide data bases that enable operational commanders to easily determine the status of the people, equipment and say bases that they will be utilizing in executing a specific operation. In the “to be” state there will be enterprise wide data bases where the enterprise is the Department of Defense assessable by operational commanders and other decision makers. They will then be able to make decisions on the basis of complete, timely, accurate and relevant data on the people, equipment, organizations and real property (as bases) that they will utilize in execution of an operation. People and things can be identified to sites and facilities for rapid deployment response. RFID Tracking Questions Questions answered 5

DoD Vision for Item Unique Identification (IUID)
To implement a policy establishing a strategic imperative for uniquely identifying tangible items relying to the maximum extent practical on international standards and commercial item markings and while not imposing unique government data requirements. Uniquely identified (UID) tangible items will facilitate item tracking in DoD business systems and provide reliable and accurate data for management, financial, accountability and asset management purposes. This is where we transition to IUID = the program to be planned and implemented by acquirers for new and legacy items As noted, USD (AT&L) Memo of Jul 29, 2003 announced a policy that Unique identification (UII) is mandatory for all solicitations issued on or after Jan 1, 2004 and also encourages component acquisition executives of services and agencies to incorporate the policy into ongoing contracts where it makes business sense to do so. As will be explained later in the brief, the memorandum provides an algorithm to determine what items need to be marked and also states “existing government furnished property provided to contractors is exempt from this policy until Jan 1, 2005 when the policy becomes mandatory for all GFE incorporated into an end item”. #2 Bullet DoD worked with industry to develop the policy and has established the Joint Implementation Requirements Board that will focus on business rules for enabling Automated Information Systems (AIS) to use the UII as a primary or alternate key to achieve a globally interoperable network centric architecture for the integrated management of tangible items. (VISION) AT&L established a UID Program Office has been established to manage IUID implementation and there is a UID IPT that continues to work issues. "Purchases initiated by DoD and executed through the General Services Administration (GSA) or another federal agency shall comply with the UID policy."

Requirements from the operators generate programs; funding is requested from Congress to develop the item to satisfy the requirement; Congress funds the program (authorize and appropriate). DoD then lets a contract to develop and produce the item to satisfy the requirement; when delivered via MIRR (aka DD250) and accepted, it is delivered and possibly tracked during delivery process via an RFID label. Eventually the item is assigned top a specific unit, is picked up on that unit’s property log. This vu-graph then goes to the original driver for UID/IUID, one to one correlation between funding appropriated by Congress and items in the field toward satisfying Congressional mandate for DoD to achieve the Clean Audit Report that includes an accurate inventory and a valuation of the inventory.

Unique Item Identifier (UII) is….
. . . the set of data for tangible assets that is globally unique and unambiguous, ensures data integrity and data quality throughout life, and supports multi-faceted business applications and users. UII is . . . This is the definition of unique item identification (UII). A DoD Unique Identifier (UII) permanently identifies an individual item distinctly from all other individual items that DoD buys and owns. What does it mean to “do” IUID? IUID means that a qualifying item has a machine-readable label affixed to it, or a direct part mark inscribed on it, that contains the required IUID data elements in a data carrier with the proper semantics and syntax formats. IUID also requires that AIT technology be available with associated UID business rules to read the machine-readable label/mark to derive the UII for processing in Automated Information Systems. The graphic shows what a UII might look like on an item. With the UII, the DoD can associate valuable business intelligence with an item throughout its life cycle and accurately capture and maintain data for valuation and tracking of items. We’ll have more details later in the briefing on how the UII is constructed, items are marked, and UIIs reported. EID (12V) Orig. Part No. (1P)1234 Serial No (S)786950 8

Item Unique Identification (IUID) - How Is It Done?
The UII Is Derived From Discrete Component Data Elements – The UII Is Not Required To Be Marked On The Item as Its Own Data Element Coded in the Data Matrix: Enterprise Identifier = 0CVA5 (CAGE Code) Original Part Number = 1234 Serial Number = 674A36458 The ISO assigned Issuing Agency Code (IAC) can be derived using the Enterprise data qualifier. The IAC for CAGE, is “D”: There are two acceptable DoD constructs Construct 1 on the left in blue contains the enterprise Identification and more on enterprise identifiers later, and the serial number of the equipment. And that’s all because the equipment manufacturer can guarantee that thru life those two data elements in combination will uniquely and unambiguously identify the item on which marked. Construct 2, on the right in red, has the additional element of data, part number, that the manufacturer needs in order to ensure that through life the identification is unique and unambiguous. It is the manufacturer of the item, not the government that decides whether to use construct 1 or 2. The alphanumeric at the bottom of each example is the concatenated UII for the item = EID then Serial Number for Construct 1; EID Part Number then Serial number within that Part number for construct 2. UII Construct 1 UII Construct 2 If the Serial Number is Unique within the Enterprise Identifier If the Serial Number is Not Unique within the Enterprise Identifier but is Unique within the Part Number D0CVA5674A36458 D0CVA A36458 9 ROB LEIBRANDT

Create and Generate the UII
The components that make up the UII are identified in the table below. Each enterprise has two options for creating the UII. This chart amplifies on the preceding vu-graph for the two IUID constructs. Whether an enterprise uses IUID Construct #1 or IUID Construct #2 depends on whether they serialize items within the enterprise or within part number. Above is the Contractor’s decision and one to be made in context of all their defense work not the instant contract The chart also illustrates how to handle rolling part numbers under IUID either construct and still guarantee that the UII is permanent over the life of the item. (Original Part Number//Current Part Number) In order to ensure permanence over the life of the item, even if UID Construct #2 is used and the part number rolls, the team decided the following: The original part number (assigned at birth) will be used to construct the UII If the part number should roll, the original part number is required to be marked on the item for the entire life of the item in order to reconstruct the UII The current part number may be marked on the item as an additional element Note that construct 2 is also used for ammunition where stock is referenced by both by manufactured lot (=part number) and Serial Number of the round within the lot. 10

The data qualifier associated with the serial number will identify which UII construct is used to build the UII. [1] Data identifier 18V is the concatenation of the Issuing Agency Code (IAC) + Enterprise Identifier (EID). This data identifier would be used for all other EIDs, which were assigned by an issuing agency that has an assigned IAC but does not have their own specific EID data identifier. [1] MFR – Manufacturer CAGE Code. Identifies the manufacturer, government agency or other organization controlling the design and the part number assignment of the subject part. SPL – Supplier CAGE Code. Identifies the organization assigning a Unique Component Identification Number (UCN), where the organization is not the manufacturer, government agency, or other organization controlling the design of the serialized component. [1] SER – Part Serial Number (Serial Number within Enterprise) is the manufacturer’s serialized identity for an individual part, component or component end item. UCN – Unique Component Identification Number. The UCN is the permanent tracking identity assigned to an in-service part in lieu of the manufacturer’s serial number. [1] 25S is a data identifier defined as the identification of a party to a transaction (as identified by data identifier 18V), followed by a supplier assigned serial number (For UII purposes, this has to be unique serialization within the EID that assigns the UII data elements). Thus, for UII purposes, 25S must represent the following string of concatenated elements – IAC + EID + Unique serial number within the EID, which directly corresponds to a concatenated UII using Construct #1. [1] DI I identifies a U. S. Vehicle Identification Number – VIN. [1] DI 22S identifies a cellular mobile telephone electronic serial number. [1] AI 8002 identifies a cellular mobile telephone electronic serial number. [1] AI 8003 identifies an EAN.UCC GRAI. [1] 8004 is the application identifier for the EAN.UCC Global Individual Asset Identifier (GIAI). The GIAI is up to 30 characters and is a combination of the EAN.UCC Company Prefix and an Individual Asset Reference, which is assigned by the holder of the EAN.UCC Company Prefix. [1] In the case where the EID is the CAGE Code, data identifier 18S may be used. 18S is defined as the concatenation of the CAGE Code (EID) + Unique serial number within the CAGE Code. This is UII Construct 1. This data element does not contain the IAC, which must be added. [1] USN – The concatenation of MFR + SER. UST – The concatenation of SPL + UCN. These elements do not contain the IAC, which must be added. Current Part Number P PNR 11

Defining the Scope of an UII
A UII Is A UII Is Not A Data Element A Unique Identifier for an Item Globally Unique Unambiguous Permanent Created by Concatenating Specific Data Elements The enabler for business intelligence A Device for Communicating Data, such as Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) Tags, Contact Memory Buttons, Linear Bar Codes, or 2-D Data Matrices A Replacement for the National Stock Number Intelligent Data that Yields Information About the Item Transferable from one item to another Focus on what UII is not, we’ve already covered what it is. The DOD has traditionally identified items by National Stock Number (NSN). However, this only identifies one entire class of items—for example, all circuit cards with the same NSN. By using the UII, the DOD will be able to identify and track each and every specific circuit card with that NSN. 12

UID Policy Overview Policy memorandum released on July 29th 2003 established IUID as a mandatory DoD requirement on all solicitations issued on or after January 1, 2004. IUID is required for all property items delivered to the Government if: Acquisition cost is more than $5,000 Items with an acquisition cost below $5,000, when identified by the requiring activity as DoD serially managed, mission essential, or controlled inventory Items with an acquisition cost below $5,000 as determined by the requiring activity Regardless of value, any DoD serially managed subassembly, component or part embedded within an item and the “parent” item in which it is embedded Wide Area Workflow (WAWF) is the preferred method for capturing IUID data and will be a mandatory payment requirement no later than January 1, 2005 Policy Updates issued November 26, 2003, December 22, 2003, September 3, 2004, December 23, 2004, May 11, 2005, May 12, 2005. 14

Key Direction from UID Policy Updates
Apply IUID to legacy items in inventory and operational use All program and item mangers plan for and implement IUID - ACAT 1D programs submit plans by June 2005 - All others to MDAs by January 2006 Plans should target FY2007 as the point by which: - All existing serialized assets will be entered in UID registry - UII marking capabilities established such that marking can commence when equipment is returned for maintenance Government Furnished Property (GFP) must meet UID policy requirement effective 1 Jan 2006 Policy Updates issued November 26, 2003, December 22, 2003, September 3, 2004, December 23, 2004, 15
16
Key Direction from UID Policy Updates
(Continued) DUSD (Logistics and Material Readiness) develop UID implementation plan for organic depot maintenance operations DCMA negotiate corporate/facility strategies with top 30 DoD suppliers DCMA issue UII quality assurance plan AT&L work with Services/Agencies to modernize infrastructure, reengineer business processes, revise Automated Information Systems (AIS) Policy Updates issued November 26, 2003, December 22, 2003, September 3, 2004, December 23, 2004, 16
17
Evolutionary Approach to Legacy IUID
Plans should target FY 2007 as point by which: All existing serialized assets that meet IUID criteria have been entered in UID Registry UII marking capabilities established for all existing items and embedded assets Complete marking of items and embedded items by Dec 31, 2010: Plans identify exemptions for items to be removed from inventory before Dec 31, 2010 DoD Organic Depot Maintenance Operations Initial Operational Capability by June 2005 Full Operational Capability by FY2007 Government Furnished Property (GFP) must meet UID policy requirement effective 1 Jan 2006 17

USD (AT&L) Memorandum 12 May 2005
Guidance for review of IUID implementation at milestone reviews Establishes requirements for applying IUID to DoD property in the possession of contractors (PIPC); Property should only be accountable in one property accountability system at a time Acquisition value will be recorded and updated in the IUID Registry Eliminate DD form 1662 DoD Property in the Custody of Contractors IUID Registry will Not be a property accountability system but provide audit trail of property in current and previous accountability systems. Maintain master IUID data Be updated with key transaction events but not maintain detailed transactional data Develop interfaces between IUID Registry and component specific property systems Add IUID to logistics policies and integration with serialized item tracking. Clarifications in Attachments PIPC is a financial statement weakness so DoD is developing policy and processes to improve accountability, accuracy and reliability. One objective is to reduce the proliferation of GFP and AT&L requests Services and agencies to ensure that property is furnished to contractors only when in DoD’s best interest – benefit outweighs cost of administration including eventual disposal; and that government risk is not substantially greater than if pproperty were not furnished. 18

Item Unique Identification (IUID) and Valuation
Contracting for IUID Item Unique Identification (IUID) and Valuation DFARS General. Unique item identification and valuation is a system of marking and valuing items delivered to DoD that will enhance logistics, contracting, and financial business transactions supporting the United States and coalition troops. Through unique item identification policy, DoD can: Achieve lower life cycle cost of item management Improve operational readiness Provide reliable accountability of property and asset visibility Reduce the burden on the workforce 22
23
Contracting for IUID (Continued)
DFARS Policy for Item Unique Identification (IUID) DoD unique item identification, or a DoD recognized unique identification equivalent, is required for: All delivered items where unit acquisition cost is $5,000 or more; Items less that $5,000 when identified by the requiring activity as serially managed, mission essential, or controlled inventory; Items less than $5,000 when the requiring activity determines that permanent identification is required; Regardless of value, Any DoD serially managed subassembly, component, or part embedded within a delivered item The parent item that contains the embedded subassembly, component, or part. Mandatory for all items $5,000 and above Key Point: For items less than $5,000 PM identifies, and PCO includes a list of items requiring unique identification in paragraph (c)(1)(ii) of the clause; embedded items that require unique identification must be identified in a Contract Data Requirements List or other exhibit that is cited in paragraph (c)(1)(iii) of the clause. 23
24
Contracting for IUID (Continued)
DFARS Policy for Item Unique Identification (IUID) Exceptions. The contractor will not be required to provide DoD unique item identification if: The items, as determined by the head of the agency, are to be used to support a contingency operation or to facilitate defense against or recovery from NBC or radiological attack; A determination and finding executed concluding that it is more cost effective for the requiring activity to assign, mark and register the unique item identification after delivery of an item acquired from a small business concern or a commercial item acquired under FAR Part 12 or Part 8. DF by CAE for ACAT I HCA for all other programs DoD UII Program Office must receive a copy of the D&F (ACAT 1) Exception to Contractor Marking: Special, contingency use as detailed in first bullet and/or when items obtained from small businesses /via commercial process and it is determined that it is more economical for receiving activity to do the marking. Note marking will be done but by receiving activity vice by selling activity. Also note requirements for higher level authority to approve the deviation, and for documentation. 24

IUID Decision Tree 25
26
Contracting for IUID (Continued)
DFARS Policy for Valuation. It is DoD policy that contractors shall be required to identify the Government’s unit acquisition cost for all items delivered, even if none of the criteria for placing a unique item identification mark applies The Government’s unit acquisition cost is: Unit price identified in the contract at time of delivery for fixed price type line, subline, or exhibit line items Contractor’s estimated fully burdened unit cost at time of delivery to the Government for cost type or undefinitized line, subline, or exhibit line items; For items delivered under a time and material contract, the contractor’s estimated fully burdened unit cost to the Government at the time of delivery The Government’s unit acquisition cost of subassemblies, components and parts embedded in delivered items need not be separately identified Valuation required for all items! Items may or may not require UID marking but do require a unit acquisition cost at the time of delivery to the government. Estimated fully burdened cost does not include estimated fee. Fee is not a direct or indirect cost and is not considered part of the items value. The valuation of an item does not need to be updated by the Contractor as a result of changes in the fixed unit price or final settled prices that take place after delivery. Note that acquisition cost of the end item, delivered item, is what is reported, not the acquisition cost of the embedded items 26

Clause at , Item Identification and Valuation Paragraph e: Embedded DoD serially managed subassemblies, components, and parts. The contractor shall report at the time of delivery, either as part of, or associated with the MIRR, the following information: (see following) Paragraph f. The Contractor shall submit the information required by paragraphs (d) and (e) of this clause in accordance with the date submission procedures at Paragraph g. Subcontracts. If paragraph c (1) of this clause applies, the contractor shall include this clause including this paragraph g, in all subcontracts issued under this contract. Paragraph e – same as d but for embedded items reporting; list also on a subsequent vu-graph Paragraph f – data submission is evolving hence reference to OSD UII site. Basically will be via WAWF or directly to registry. Paragraph g is a key one, what government includes in prime contract re UII will be flowed to subs. Serially Managed (Definitions) Includes reparable items down to and including sub-component reparable unit level; life-limited, time-controlled, or items requiring records (e.g., logbooks, aeronautical equipment service records, etc.); and items that require technical directive tracking at the part level. A distinction must be made between “serialized items” and “DoD serially managed” items. While DoD may use an item that has been serialized by the manufacturer, DoD may not manage the item by means of its serial number. When DoD elects to serially manage an item it becomes "DoD serially managed". This means it is a tangible item used by DoD, which is designated by a DoD, or Service Item Manager to be uniquely tracked, controlled or managed in maintenance, repair and/or supply by means of its serial number. 31

An end item may be composed of subassemblies, components and parts. The prime contractor will build to the end item specifications and will pass down these specs, including the UID marking requirements, to the tiered vendors for the build of subcontracted subassemblies, components and parts. The end item, as well as all the subassemblies, components and parts will have requirement for UIIs in the specs. The various vendors will produce these UII identified items and deliver them to the prime. Spares may be purchased directly from the vendors or through the prime. These UII-qualifying spare items also have to be marked appropriately with the UII components. So, when the prime delivers the end item, that is one UII. The spares are delivered with their own UIIs. The Government has the option of asking the prime to deliver a list of all UIIs for UII-qualifying items in the end item and should or obviously the data will never get to AIS. The capture of the end item and spares UIIs at time of delivery will satisfy the valuation of assets and inventory and property management requirements.

IUID Solicitation Prep/Contract Award
Solicitations for Service Contracts - IUID requirements do not apply unless the service requirement involves delivery of an item. Equipment involved in performance of the service may have a UII assigned. (Beginning in 2006 GFP provided to contractors will need to be appropriately marked and have a UII assigned.) R&D hardware that never sees operational service nor requires logistical support might be treated as an expense for accounting purposes and would not require a value be assigned to its UII. The Program Manager makes that determination. Operating lease items would not normally require UII marking or associated valuation, unless they are subsequently be purchased or supported by DOD. 34

IUID Solicitation Prep/Contract Award
Software cost will generally be associated with the hardware on which it operates and becomes part of the capitalized value of that asset. The CLIN structure must be organized to identify all end-items, either at the CLIN level, or with Sub CLINs, for more complex situations where different end-items are to be delivered within a lot. It is not intended that IUID and valuation information become certified cost and pricing data, unless it would normally be used by the contractor to estimate the contract or required payment. If IUID is required on a new contract, major modification, or reprocurement of equipment (such as spare parts), the RFP must include: The DFARS clause , Item Identification and Valuation Reference to MIL-STD-130 (current version) Include the new/revised DID 35

IUID Cost Accounting and Contract Pricing
AIA Letter to Director of Defense Procurement and Acquisition Policy Concern regarding recovery of UII costs Request DOD consider issuing guidance OSD issued guidance July 19, 2004 No one method for all contractors. Assignment of costs will depend on type of costs and the allocation of costs will be based on the benefits received or some other equitable relationship. General Rules for Assignment of Costs to Accounting Periods Tangible Capital Assets = Capitalize/Depreciate Intangible Capital Assets = Follow GAAP Other Recurring = Expense as period cost Non-Recurring = expense/agreed to amortization History of discussion between Government and Industry regarding allowability of costs for UII/RFID Implementation: Original proposal – no recovery of costs for UID implementation Alternative suggestions for allowability suggested by industry Resulted in July 19, 2004 DPAP Letter – Costs are allowable, subject to the provisions of CAS 404, 409 and FAR OSD Guidance contained in Director, Defense Procurement and Acquisition Policy (DPAP) letter dated July 19, 2004 The costs necessary to comply with DFARS are generally allowable, provided they comply with applicable assignment and allocability requirements of the Cost Accounting Standards and Federal Acquisition Regulations Part 31. The general guidance that follows should be utilized by Contracting Officers in applying these requirements. 36

The brief will present why DoD has undertaken these efforts and the benefits to the operational and logistic commanders, as well as acquisition community, financial community, and maintenance communities when there is a universe of uniquely identified personnel, locations, units, and of course items. There is first a need to understand the difference between the macro UID initiative and the IUID program. Then to understand the IUID program including definition of a IUID, contracting for IUID, what needs to be marked, how marks are constructed (UII), what information about an item needs to be reported, and specifically what is expected of Program Managers regarding implementation of IUID in new and legacy systems. This is an information brief and will not provide the level of detail that some of you will need on specific aspects of the IUID program – for those needs we do provide pointers to resources during and at the end of the brief and you are encouraged to use those resources.

“Why WAWF ?” - The DFARS Clauses
Electronic Submission of Payment Requests. (b) Except as provided in paragraph (c) of this clause, the Contractor shall submit payment requests using one of the following electronic forms: (1) Wide Area WorkFlow-Receipt and Acceptance (WAWF-RA). Material Inspection and Receiving Report. (b) Contractor submission of the material inspection and receiving information required by Appendix F of the Defense FAR Supplement by using the Wide Area WorkFlow-Receipt and Acceptance (WAWF-RA) electronic form (see paragraph (b)(1) of the clause at ) fulfills the requirement for a material inspection and receiving report (DD Form 250). 57

What is the IUID Lifecycle?
Dispose – DoD/GSA records the “termination” of the UII at time of item disposal Require – DoD contracts reflect the requirement for part marks to include UII data elements for all items which require unique identification Use – Functional stakeholders use UII as a primary or alternate key in the AIS to access or update item information based on its UII Create/Generate – Industry suppliers/manufacturers throughout supply chain assign and apply UII data elements and ensure the uniqueness of the component data elements UII This chart illustrates the UID lifecycle. The business rules associated with each “phase” are highlighted in this section. Business rules are also presented. Note the role of the main players: government requires; contractors implement per government requirements and lists in the contract; MIRR data enables capturing UII; Capture – DoD establishes the “birth” record of the UII by capturing the machine/human readable component data elements to create the UII in the AIT/AIS 66

Agenda Unique Identification (UID); Item Unique Identification; Unique Item Identifier (UII) UID/IUID Policy Contracting for IUID Marking Items WAWF and IUID Registry Planning IUID Implementation PM’s IUID Program Plan Summary, References & Resources This brief will provide a brief overview of the Unique Identification (UID) initiative, a detailed examination of DoD AT&L’s Item Unique Identification IUID) Program, and frequent reference to Unique Item Identifier (UII) that are the data elements marked on items in accordance with specified standards. The brief will present why DoD has undertaken these efforts and the benefits to the operational and logistic commanders, as well as acquisition community, financial community, and maintenance communities when there is a universe of uniquely identified personnel, locations, units, and of course items. There is first a need to understand the difference between the macro UID initiative and the IUID program. Then to understand the IUID program including definition of a IUID, contracting for IUID, what needs to be marked, how marks are constructed (UII), what information about an item needs to be reported, and specifically what is expected of Program Managers regarding implementation of IUID in new and legacy systems. This is an information brief and will not provide the level of detail that some of you will need on specific aspects of the IUID program – for those needs we do provide pointers to resources during and at the end of the brief and you are encouraged to use those resources. Quote is from Michael Wynne, Acting under Secretary of Defense (AT&L) in an interview with DAU Defense AT&L Jan/Feb 04 issue “Unique identification is the ability to physically distinguish one item from another…We view a unique identifier as a set of data for assets that: is globally unique and unambiguous ensures data integrity and data quality throughout life supports multi-faceted business applications and users” 78

IUID Implementation Plan
Describe the overall IUID Implementation Strategy to include: (Continued) Exemptions are intended only for contingency operations. Are you including DFARS Clause in solicitations? What actions are you taking on existing contracts that do not include the DFARS Clause ? If applicable, provide rationale for each contract where modification to include the DFARS Clause is considered infeasible. Describe the population of legacy items that qualify for IUID. Are serially managed items going to be assigned virtual unique item identifiers? Who will assign virtual UIIs? What are the trigger events for marking legacy items? Who will mark legacy items at the trigger events? What are the infrastructure requirements? What is being done to satisfy these infrastructure requirements? What are your UII requirements in contracts / work orders for depots? What is the status of your supporting depot in developing the marking and registration capabilities required for your program? See Data Submission Paper at the UID Website, How is the program dealing with the resulting documentation (e.g. Drawings)? 81

Top 5 Things to Know About IUID
Item IUID is a mandatory DoD requirement on: all new tangible personal property solicitations beginning Jan 04 (July 29, 2003 policy memorandum) legacy items in inventory and operation, including government furnished property (GFP) (Dec 23, 2004 policy memorandum) Motivators for transition planning Program Plans from government PMs Corporate/Facility Single Process Initiatives (now through 2010) Use existing marking processes & marks with UII content Item Identification and tracking can revolutionize the detail available to Configuration Management, Systems Engineering, Logistics Support and Operational Planning What began as a US DoD initiative has become truly International in scope!! 85

Key Responsibilities for IUID Implementation
Program Managers will identify items embedded in end items that require unique identification, including embedded subassemblies, components and parts. These embedded items will identified in a Contract Data Requirements List (CDRL) or Exhibit. Contracting Officers shall include the clause at , Item Identification and Valuation, in all solicitations and contracts that require delivery of items. All items delivered to the Department will be delivered under a contract line item and the Department’s acquisition cost of each item will be identified under a contract line item or sub-line item Contractors are required to provide unique item identification, or a DoD recognized unique identification equivalent, for all items delivered with an acquisition cost of $5,000 or more and as designated by the requiring activity for items less than $5,000. Under the clause at , marking of items shall be in accord with MIL-STD-130M, Identification Marking of U.S. Military Property. The program manager has the responsibility to determine the need for, and application of, UID for items below $5,000 in acquisition cost, as well as embedded subassemblies, components and parts. The UID requirement for part marking flows down to suppliers as well. After January 1, 2004 all requests for proposals (RFPs) must include DFARS clause , Item Identification and Valuation, and reference to MIL-STD-130L. The new/revised data item description (DID) may need to be included and identified on the CDRL, due at the time of delivery for UIDs for subassemblies, components and parts embedded within end items. The UID would not be required if the delivered end item is a single spare component or part. More importantly, the contract line item number (CLIN) structure must be organized to identify all end-items, either at the CLIN level, or with sub line item numbers (SLINs) for more complex situations where different end-items are to be delivered within a lot. In requesting proposal responses, whether competitive or sole-source, it is recommended that no identifying UID or values be solicited from bidders, except where the normal CLIN pricing would be required. This avoids the cost and complexity of asking bidders, some of whom will be unsuccessful in competitions, from supplying the UID and value information at lower levels of detail.. When the contract is finally negotiated and awarded, the PCO should work with the contractor to extend the CLIN structure as necessary, using informational SLINs if needed, and enter known UID and valuation references. These may need to be updated via subsequent contract modifications to incorporate other UID and valuation information as it becomes known during the contract performance. 86

UID-RFID Policy Relationship
According to current DoD Policy, RFID tags that carry data are required to be attached to packages at multiple levels, including item packages, cases, and pallets. Unique Identifiers are required to be attached or directly marked on items using a data matrix to carry the UID data elements.
