My local locksmith was able to make a duplicate key for my Focus, including the RFID programming, the caveat being that he needed the original key to "clone" the RFID chip from.
If I hadn't had the original, he'd have had to get the key pattern and the RFID data from Ford, and I don't know what that would entail. I might have had to go to a Ford dealer and pay $$$. Interestingly my Nissan doesn't have RFID in the ignition at all, and it's newer than the Focus. I'm using a plain jane metal duplicate key on it, as the boys have lost all the originals.
