What is IUID?
Unique Identification (IUID) is a new method
established by the Department of Defense (DoD) to identify its
tangible assets. Suppliers are required to encode the IUID
data into a 2D Data Matrix symbol and directly apply it to
specific tangible items to help facilitate item tracking in
DoD business systems. The data will also be used for
management, financial, accountability, and asset management
purposes.What does IUID look like?
