A2B Tracking Solutions of Portsmouth, RI is announcing an electronic newsletter, UID Quarterly. With a first issue scheduled for June 28, UID Quarterly is intended to educate and support the Department of Defense and DoD contractors and suppliers who must comply with the DoD unique identification (UID) mandate. UID enables the DoD to identify and track tangible assets individually from cradle-to-grave. UID program manager LeAntha Sumpter currently spearheads this accountability effort, which was first advocated by the General Accounting Office (GAO).

The UID Quarterly will focus on education according to editor Joan Hacker, with regular case studies of companies that have achieved successful UID implementation. In the inaugural issue Titan Corporations AP&D Division will be highlighted. In Opinion, a regular guest interview with an individual in the forefront of the UID movement, Marsha Campbell, Sr. Manager, Asset Management at Deloitte is interviewed on the role of the property manager in UID implementation.

Other regular features will include announcements and policy updates from the UID Policy Office as well as a guest column, Vendors Corner, written by vendors and experts from the scanning, verifying, marking, and labeling communities. Bar code scanner, direct part marking, and label printer expert Charles E. Mara will be featured in June, addressing bar code label vs. direct part marking options and requirements.

In addition, A2B technical experts will contribute a regular Software Solutions column as new standards continue to evolve. The first issue will feature perspective from bar code guru David Collins, President of Data Capture Institute and author of the book, USING BAR CODE - Why It's Taking Over.
