Under the contract, SRA will continue to support USTRANSCOM and

policy and standards development, program management,
implementation and strategic planning to improve the overall

identification technology (AIT) backbone, enabling automatic
capture of data and enhancing the ability to track, document and

10 years, SRA is in a position to ensure uninterrupted support to
this critical requirement," said SRA Vice President and Director,

the DOD supply chain. By continuing to provide subject matter
expertise to USTRANSCOM and its national partners, SRA will
contribute to policy, standards and planning activities related to
the broader DOD AIT requirement." Beyond support to the AIT
requirements, SRA also supports the DOD's broader logistics needs.

of RFID and related technologies, supply chain optimization
