Program Development and Implementation
About
Program Development and Implementation (PDI) is responsible for the Unique Identification (UID) Program, development and implementation of DoD-specific policies and processes related to the management of the government purchase card program, and functional process, policy, and data requirements for the DoD-wide procurement E-business initiatives and systems.
E-Business
E-business works hand in hand with the Components and the Business
Transformation Agency (BTA) to ensure functional process, policy, and data
requirements are incorporated in DoD-wide procurement-related business
initiatives and systems (such as Wide Area Workflow). In addition,
E-business represents the Department's requirements with the federal
Integrated Acquisition Environment (IAE) portfolio of programs (including CCR and FPDS).
Purchase Card
Purchase Cards are government charge cards that enable the Department of Defense to streamline its business processes and thereby free up resources for critical national security needs.

Item Unique Identification, IUID, is an international standards based
approach adopted by DoD that makes the acquisition, repair, and deployment
of items faster and more efficient. This is achieved by: (1) Marking
qualifying items with a machine-readable data matrix mark that contains a
permanent, gobally unique and unambiguous identifier called a Unique Item
Identifier (UII), and (2) Capturing specific life cycle item data for the
UII in a centralized registry. The result is easier access to authoritative
information about UII marked items throughout their life in the DoD
inventory and Government Furnished Property in the hands of contractors.
The UII can then be leveraged as a common data key across functionally
disparate data systems. Because the mark is machine-readable, human error
in data entry is eliminated, significantly improving the accuracy of
inventory and acquisition records.
