Unique Item Identification (UID) and Marking

The contract requires the application of 2D data matrix barcodes and permanent markings in accordance with MIL-STD-130 to ensure full traceability of control panels, aligning with Department of Defense standards for Unique Item Identification. This effort is critical for maintaining accurate lifecycle tracking, inventory management, and logistical support of defense equipment, with all markings needing to be durable and machine-readable throughout the product’s service life. The work is classified under NAICS code 339950 and is structured as a subcontract under the Defense Logistics Agency, part of the Department of Defense, with performance expected to meet stringent military specifications for durability, clarity, and placement of identification data. The contract was posted on July 21, 2026, and is accessible through the DIBBS system under contract number SPRAL126C0007, though no specific place of performance or point of contact is provided. The requirement does not involve a set-aside for small or specialized businesses, indicating it is open to qualified contractors regardless of size or status. Compliance with MIL-STD-130 mandates precise formatting of data matrix symbols, including unique identifiers linked to the DoD’s UID database, ensuring each control panel can be individually tracked across procurement, deployment, maintenance, and disposal. Failure to meet these marking standards could result in rejection of delivered products and non-compliance penalties.
