This document is a salient characteristics specification for a Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) system procurement by the Department of the Air Force Materiel Command Air Force Sustainment Center (Solicitation Number: F3YCAY4122AC03). The system must function as a fully automated, advanced equipment and weapons tracking solution for armory property management, utilizing CAC authentication, Personal Identification Numbers, IUID tags, and 2D bar-coding capabilities to inventory, track, trace, account, maintain, issue, and receive both critical and non-critical equipment.

The required equipment package includes 1D/2D/IUID/RFID readers, an RFID handheld device (MC 3190Z USB-connected scanner), Dell Venue 11 Tablet, docking station, AV cart, CAC reader, touch screen interface, UPS backup power, antennas, TLSG1008 router scanner, and charging base with battery, with SmarTrack ST-RFID-SA or equivalent baseline specification. The contractor must provide all necessary equipment, software, hardware, and tools for delivery, installation, and support. RFID tags must be durable, rugged, standardized at 5mm length by 5mm width by 3mm height (unless asset-specific sizing is required), compatible with the provided system, and capable of functioning on firearms, accessories, non-lethal weapons, and magazines without impeding operational functionality. The system must accommodate inventory changes through tag addition and removal functionality, track diverse armory items including less-lethal weapons, radios, and cameras, and provide notification capabilities to armorers regarding unreturned items past designated times. All hardware, including servers, laptops, tablets, and printers, requires a 5-year warranty or manufacturer's standard warranty for repair or replacement, with exceptions noted for RFID equipment and barcode printers.
