The U.S. Government is both a thought and execution leader in Radio Frequency Identification (RFID). Agencies like the DoD, State Department and GSA have or are rolling our RFID networks. As Government agencies have pursued RFID solutions to improve accuracy, readiness, efficiency and security they have selected partners based on experience, contract availability, expertise, talent and RFID solutions. ODIN is a trusted adviser to the U.S. Federal Government across both the Department of Defense as well as the Civilian Agencies.

Contract Vehicles

ODIN is proud to be a prime and subcontract holder on several government wide purchasing vehicles past and present. It is essential to government buyers that they have access to ODIN’s expert, objective engineering and solution capabilities. Two of ODIN’s current prime contract vehicles include a GSA schedule (Schedule 81 IB and Schedule IT 70) and the pRFID Contract from PM J-AIT. We are also availble for RFID services and solutions on SEWP and Seaport-e.

ODIN is a prime contract holder for Passive RFID which is a United States Department of Defense (DoD) and NATO wide purchasing vehicle for passive RFID engineering and deployments services, hardware, software and solutions. PM J-AIT is the Joint Product Manager for Automatic Identification Technologies for the DoD.

The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) and the Defense Distribution Centers (DDC) manage the world’s largest and most complex supply chain – serving the most important clients in the world – our defenders of freedom. ODIN helped the DLA roll out RFID across 71 facilities in 129 days - under budget. ODIN has worked across all branches of our U.S. Military – Army, Navy, Air Force and Marines as well as DoD agencies. Within the Civilian Government, ODIN is a recognized leader in IT asset tracking, inventory control and homeland security. ODIN is currently working with our Department of Homeland Security (DHS) supplying RFID equipment and expertise to secure our nation’s borders supporting the Western Hemisphere Transportation Initiative (WHTI) and has worked with Department of State tracking IT Assets.

Expertise in Commercial and Government Best Practices

The U.S. Government looks to ODIN as more than an RFID integrator. ODIN provides insight how RFID can solve logistical and business process problems and ensures the technology is accurate and easy to use. Government buyers leverage ODIN’s unmatched industry and technical knowledge to map the available commercial off the shelf (COTS) RFID solutions to specific end user needs, innovating new products along the way. The highly touted ODIN SMART container is one such innovation based on the need of the U.S. Navy to move beyond simple in-transit visibility (ITV) and toward the more comprehensive total asset visibility (TAV).

To cement our commitment to supporting our country we constructed a new ODIN Innovation Lab, just outside the Capital Beltway, enabling easy access for government users to see RFID solutions in action and work with our industry leading engineering team. Within our lab, the ODIN team of physicists and engineers are creating solutions to solve the problems of our soldiers and civil servants so that we strengthen our government and protect the freedoms that we all enjoy.
