C4ISR DEMARCATION POINTS

Equipment/System Established Demarcation Points

Demarcation points (DEMARC) are established in order to designate where O&M responsibilities for communications facilities or equipment changes from one organizational entity to another. The contractor is responsible for the O&M of RPA systems and equipment up to the established communications DEMARC. The contractor shall coordinate/support diagnostic and repair efforts that cross contractor responsible DEMARC boundaries with local communications providers, as required to meet mission requirements, or as directed by the government.
