UID Compliance - IUID Benefits Expected

IUID Benefits Expected

DoD’s IUID policy was designed to help the defense community –

• Save taxpayer dollars through increased productivity and efficiency:
• Provide improved item visibility for the warfighter for operational planning
• Lower the total life-cycle costs of items acquired and managed
• Provide item visibility regardless of the weapon system or who owned the item
• Supply item data needed for top-level logistics and engineering analysis
• Facilitate issuance of a clean audit opinion as required by the 1990 Chief Financial Officers' Act by providing an accurate data source for determining value and accountability of property and equipment
• Improve access to historical item data across the life cycle from system design to disposal
