Raido-Frequency Identification (RFID)

USMILCOM Inc uses the MIL-STD-129P standard for its’ military shipping label requirements.  Revision P requires DoD contractors that ship material to the Government to provide both linear and two-dimensional (2-D) barcodes on shipping labels. 

Specific information, such as linear barcodes, National Stock Numbers (NSNs), serial numbers, Contractor and Government Entity (CAGE) codes and contract numbers may be contained on the RFID labels. 

Pallets with RFID labels will enable shippers and carriers to: 

• Consistently monitor pallet security and integrity.
• Speed shipments through the supply chain.
• Verify that a pallet was loaded at a loading point.
• Significantly reduce tampering while in transit.
• Gather data to conduct a ‘virtual inspection’ in advance of arrival.
• Guarantee that shipping meets governmental security regulations.
• Receive fast track or ‘green lane’ preference.
• Avoid extensive delays in shipment and receipt.
• Minimize the cost of handling.
