Is it possible to set Android NFC Device ID randomly?

I'm interested in using NFC for anonymous transactions, but a necessary property is that separate transactions must not be linkable. I noticed that the NFC protocols involve device identifiers, which may be chosen randomly on each transaction, but in most cases are unique and stable.

Is there any way in Android to specify or anonymize the device's NFC identifier? I wasn't able to find anything from looking at the Android docs.

This is a property of the NFC hardware and firmware. There is no Android API for configuring this.
