The U.S. Federal Government’s General Services Administration (GSA) awarded ODIN a second GSA purchasing schedule, known as IT 70. The GSA Information Technology Schedule 70 is a comprehensive government wide purchasing vehicle that enables federal, state and local government agencies to purchase items directly from technology suppliers.

“IT Asset Tracking with RFID has a tremendous benefit for Government agencies as does RFID weapons tracking, shipment and workflow automation,” said Patrick J. Sweeney II, founder of ODIN. “For seven years, ODIN has provided easy to use and accurate RFID solutions to government users. GSA schedules make it easier for our clients to access technical services and products from the only company with more than 300 RFID projects and extensive government experience, ODIN. Our two GSA schedules combined with our pRFID contract for the U.S. Department of Defense and NATO offer government users a wide variety of vehicles to choose from and RFID solutions easier to access.”

IT asset tracking using RFID can be applied to entire data center infrastructures, weapons tracking, tool tracking, SMART containers, various medical applications, and valuable office assets such as laptops. These applications have all shown great benefit from the use of this 21st century technology. RFID is replacing the 40-year-old bar code because of its value and dramatic increase in ROI. Agencies looking for greater efficiency and more automated systems for tracking and counting are rapidly adopting passive RFID.

“ODIN has served over a dozen of the U.S. government’s largest organizations ranging from the Departments of Defense and State to Customs and Border Protection and the U.S. Secret Service,” Mr. Sweeney added. “The entire ODIN team is proud to again receive this mark of approval and look forward to serving additional government RFID end users through our new GSA IT 70 schedule.”
