UID Solutions forGovernment Furnished Property in Possession of Contractors (PIPC)
The Situation
The custodian of PIPC is responsible for the submission of the UID data to the UID Registry. Typically this will involve property managers who must work closely with personnel from shipping and receiving, packaging, repair, contracts and quality assurance. Ultimately the ability to win new government contracts hinges on the seamless and accurate flow of data from government furnished property in possession of contractors to the UID Registry.
Unique Identification is survival! As one property manager put it, “From our experience we know that our greatest challenge is likely developing a UID game plan and compliance policy, because compliance requires integration of company systems and scalability of information. UID is more than a property management problem; everyone involved in a contract has a stake.”
Whether you’re handling GFP or legacy property, the requirement to initially submit all property to the DoD will most likely start with the transmission of a virtual UID. Then you’ll have a need to convert the virtual UIDs to a machine-readable 2D Data Matrix bar code that meets MIL STD 130 requirements. Finally, all that property and equipment will need to be linked together in a parent-child relationship with additional custody reference data.
Since the information systems all feed a common UID Registry, the Unique Identification data elements must be clear and unambiguous. The UID data, along with its acquisition data, embedded data, custody data, and mark data must be submitted to the UID Registry or Wide Area Workflow (WAWF) to meet the precise schema represented in the UID Registry requirements.
