You have to click on each link to look at the specific test results for each item.  But in looking at the whole matrix, it provides a good overview of which tags, readers, and printers all passed the series of interoperability testing.

See Figure 1 Below -  a table of the current products that were tested and approved for internal procurement by DOD activities and thus awarded on BPA contracts to the indicated award winner (BPA holder).  This is not an all-inclusive list of the universe of available RFID devices - it is the subset that was bid, passed the DOD testing, and was awarded.  The full list of the redacted BPA awards is at the following link.  Click on the "Awarded Contracts" button and the BPA awards all start with "Passive RFID EPC-1 BPA..."
