How will the additional cost of implementing IUID be addressed, specifically for small businesses that supply DoD?
DoD has determined that it is a strategic imperative that items valued at or above $5,000, or meeting other specified conditions, be marked with unique identification. There are no exceptions. Small businesses will find there are a number of vendors, many of them small businesses, which can provide unique identification marking assistance. DoD considers the cost of implementing unique identification requirements to be an allowable cost under FAR Part 31.
