RFID Inventory System - updated submission date with Q&A
The United States Marine Corps has awarded contract M0026425P0050 to ATS FEDERAL LLC for an RFID Inventory System valued at $15,518.00. This award notice, designated as a total small business set-aside, was posted and awarded on July 14, 2025. The contract involves the implementation of a Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) inventory management system, which will enable the Marine Corps to track and manage inventory assets more efficiently through automated identification technology. The relatively modest contract value suggests this may be for a specific component or pilot implementation of the RFID system rather than a comprehensive enterprise-wide deployment.
