Friday, October 03, 2008
RIVERSIDE — CDO Technologies Inc., a provider of IT solutions and other services, said it and its partners have been selected to deliver Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) hardware, software and services to the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) and other federal agencies, as well as the North Atlantic Treaty Organization.
CDO Technologies, with partners GlobeRanger Corp., Sirit Corp., Avery Dennison and others, have been awarded a contract with a potential value of $75.5 million, based upon delivery orders placed against it, CDO said in an announcement this week.
"Having a phenomenal group of partners to deliver on this contract is a testament to CDO's expertise in engineering and systems integration," Al Wofford, CDO president, said in his company's announcement. "We are excited to begin delivering comprehensive (RFID) solutions around the world to the Department of Defense under this new agreement."
Under the terms of the contract, CDO can now be awarded task orders by the Army, Defense Logistics Agency, or any other agency within the DoD or the U.S. Coast Guard to integrate RFID infrastructure in their supply chains, CDO said.
CDO Technologies, an IT integrator and provider of RFID, bar code, and data collection solutions, moved to a Springfield Street office complex in late 2007. At the time of the move, the company had about 65 employees and was projected to have 80 employees within two years.
