Sirit, a Federal Signal Technologies Company, Awarded Contract with Defense Logistics Agency

Federal Signal Technologies company Sirit Corp., a global provider of RFID technology, announced that it has been awarded a contract with the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) utilizing passive Class 1, Generation 2 RFID labels.

The DLA is the U.S. Department of Defense’s combat logistics support agency. The maximum value of the contract is estimated at US$2.7 million covering one year with two additional one year options. Sirit has passed stringent testing requirements conducted by the DLA and has begun fulfilling orders under this contract.

“We are excited to have been chosen by the Defense Logistics Agency to fulfill their requirements for ISO 18000-6C RFID labels and ribbons,” said John Freund, president of Sirit. “This is an important program for the government and we look forward to working closely with them in support of this initiative.”
