Defense Approps Act 2007 Allocates for RFID
Last week the Senate marked up H.R. 5631, the Defense Appropriations Act for Fiscal Year 2007. The Senate report is not yet public, but we are aware of two congressional adds for RFID. The first is $1.0M for Navy to purchase RFID SMART containers. The second is $6.0M for the Army to continue its Active Data Rich RFID Technology Insertion and Enhancement Initiative. A third add, indirectly related to RFID is $10M for the Defense Logistics Agency received $10.0M for its Center for Supply Chain Management, which should have a significant impact on RFID policy.
