CDO wins AIT IV contract (7-30-2009)

CDO Technologies Inc. said it has been selected as the prime contractor to provide automatic identification technology services for U.S. Army supply-chain systems.

The Army contract is worth more than $400 million over nine years, CDO Technologies said Wednesday, July 29. That represents the total dollar amount to be awarded to multiple companies over nine years, which includes three years and government-renewable options of up to six additional years, CDO said from its Riverside headquarters near Wright-Patterson Air Force Base.

CDO declined to break out how much of the money it stands to receive. The company expects to compete for a major portion of the work task-orders to be issued under the contract, said Don Ertel, a CDO vice president.

The contract involves providing technologies including bar codes, contact and touch memory, thermal printing and cellular, satellite and voice recognition to identify items moving through supply chain networks, CDO said.

CDO is a systems integrator that provides technical and professional services to military, government and corporate customers. It is the third Army automatic identification technology contract awarded to CDO during the past year, management said.
