RFID Tracking System for Help Desk

The Mission and Installation Contracting Command (MICC), Dugway Proving Ground (DPG) Installation Contracting Office (ICO) is seeking sources that can provide a Radio Frequency Identification Device (RFID) System for DPG. DPG is the nation's Major Range and Test Facility Base (MRTFB) for Chemical, Biological, Radiological, Nuclear and Explosives (CBRNE) defense programs. Any interested party would be required to provide all personnel, equipment, supplies, facilities, transportation, tools, materials and supervision required to provide this system. The following are the objectives for this requirement: The DPG West Desert Test Center (WDTC) Data Management Division (DMD) requires that all computer assets that pass through the Help Desk for routine maintenance, repair, imaging for Windows 10, etc. be tracked and accounted for in an RFID system. Computer assets are defined as all computer systems and peripherals assigned to a Hand Receipt Holder in the DPG Property system. RFID Hardware solution requirements: 1. Passive RFID tags will be human-readable (barcoded) and uniquely identified within the RFID software. 2. Passive RFID tags will be of a size and type appropriate for each computer asset. Consideration for the materiel makeup of the asset must be taken into account (metal, composite, plastic, magnetic, etc.). 3. Passive RFID tags must be readable by a hand-held scanner and a fixed/mounted reader. 4. Hand-held scanner must be able to read both Passive RFID and Barcodes. 5. Three mounted Passive RFID readers will show direction of movement of assets. 6. Two hand-held scanners for manual inventory purposes. 7. One printer capable of printing custom barcoded information on Passive RFID tags. 8. Approximately 1000 Passive RFID tags for initial phase. RFID Software solution requirements: 1. Server software must operate in a Microsoft Windows Server 2012 environment and according to DoD and Army regulations. 2. Client software must operate in a Windows 10 environment. 3. Server software must have a web interface. 4. Server and client software must authenticate users via Active Directory. Estimated expenses for RFID hardware, software, programming and installation as described above: 1. 3 each mounted Passive RFID readers 2. 2 each hand-held scanners 3. 1 each RFID barcode printer 4. 1,000 each passive RFID labels 5. 1 each software solution This solution will be used as proof-of-concept to be expanded to the entire WDTC, encompassing an area of approximately 1,250 square miles. Approximately 100,000 trackable assets of varying size, materiel composition, durability and location (inside building / outside on range) will need to be tagged using the appropriate technology (passive, active, GPS, etc.).
