6. - NATO/National Stock Number (NSN) is a codification tool for identifying items that meet a set of capabilities but does not differentiate among those individual items - RFID primarily focused on Packaging for In-transit and storage Related Codification and Transport Initiatives

7. Unique Item Identification - “Enabling individual item visibility by going beyond codification” UII Raises the Bar to intensive identification, tracking and management throughout the lifecycle of each item UII uses machine-readable, globally unique item identifiers and integrates three primary processes: –Comprehensive use of UII facilitates the assessment of an asset’s location and status with respect to its maintenance plan and the consolidation of this information for logistics analysis –An automated means of marking and identifying equipment items such that manual entry of the commonly used equipment identifiers is eliminated, where possible –The ability to electronically exchange data bi-directionally across disparate organizations and systems. –

8. IUID: It All Starts With a Part Mark! In today’s world, many items we buy have identification on them that indicate the manufacturer or distributor of the product and the product type (e.g., 12oz can of Coca-Cola Classic) Some items also have a serial number that differentiates one item from another identical item (e.g., the 24 th engine off the assembly line is different from the 1024 th ) Serial numbers are unique, but not outside of their enterprise – the serial number assigned by XYZ Manufacturer could be the same as one assigned by ABC Company Two identical cans of Coke from the same bottling plant will show the same data on the Universal Product Code (UPC) By combining enterprise identification, item class and serialization, a globally unique item identifier is created that differentiates every item from other items Each item has its own globally unique identifier (UII) MFR 0CVA5 SER 674A36458

9. UII: How is it Constructed? The UII shall be derived from its discrete component data elements – the concatenated UII is not required in the mark as a separate data element Enterprise Identifier = 0CVA5 (CAGE Code) Original Part Number= 1234 Serial Number= 674A36458 From the Data Matrix: The UII can be derived using the IAC for CAGE, which is “D”: UII Construct 1UII Construct 2 If the Serial Number is Unique within the Enterprise Identifier If the Serial Number is Not Unique within the Enterprise Identifier but is Unique within the Part Number D0CVA5674A36458D0CVA51234674A36458
