U.S. Court Reinstates Ousted Passport RFID Vendor

Wilson P. Dizard III writes on GCN.com:

The U.S. Court of Federal Claims has reinstated On Track Innovations Ltd. (OTI) as a potential provider of contactless identification chips for the federal government’s electronic passport project, according to court officials and the company.

A court clerk said Judge Charles Lettow set aside the Government Printing Office’s decision to eliminate OTI from the competition to provide the radio frequency identification (RFID) devices that are to be embedded in U.S. passport covers.

The judge directed GPO to resume testing of OTI’s chips at the point where the agency halted the testing.
