Marking Arrangements
In a case where the manufacturer is also the ODA (Original Design Activity), the marking should be arranged as follows:
ODA - CAGE or NCAGE (NATO Commercial and Government Agency) - 1234567-101.
When a manufacturer is the CDA (Current Design Activity) but not the ODA, the following mark should be included in addition to the one above:

Famous quotes containing the words marking and/or arrangements:
“Hair of man, man-hair, hair of
breast and groin, marking contour as
silverpoint marks in cross-

—Gerda Lerner (b. 1920)
