    Description
    The DPAS Individual Issue process does not currently support issue by pRFID number.  pRFID numbers are unique.  By scanning the pRFID that is related to inventory, the issue can be made efficiently and accurately.  The DPAS PM has requested that DPAS be able to provide a proof of principle (POP) to the U.S Coast Guard for their cadet clothing issues.

    Recommended
    The POP will consist primarily of bulk clothing, which could be hundreds/thousands of identical items being received. To support this POP:

    • DPAS will need a method to efficiently capture and associate the pRFIDs with the inventory during the receiving phase, or possibly have a separate pRFID process that could augment receiving.
    • the goal would be to modify the existing Individual Issue process to enable the scan/capture of the pRFIDs that are attached to the items being issue displaying the Stock Nbr / Qty in the issue process.

    For the POP, it is not necessary to have DPAS create a process to assign pRFIDs to bulk materiel, or to implement pRFID into the Individual Return process. These modifications would only be needed should issue by pRFID become a core DPAS process.

    Mission Critical
    This is a DPAS PM requirement.

    Benefits
    Reduced manpower through automated scans, and improve accuracy.

    Users
    All users who perform Individual Issues and have items tagged with a pRFID.
