A CAGE code is a five digit alpha numeric identifier which is assigned to suppliers of various Governmental agencies. Basically, if your company or entity wants to do business with the Government, you must have a CAGE code. CAGE codes are also used internationally under the NATO Codification System (NCS) and are referred to as NCAGE Codes.

CAGE codes are used in many functions of Government agencies. They can be assigned to a National Stocking Number (NSN), which is another term for "part number", and thus helpful for Government buyers when sourcing supplies, parts, services, etc.. They can also be used by Contractors when bidding Government Solicitations. The Government requires that the true manufacturer name be disclosed in the Contractors' bid submission. The Contractor navigates to our site, enters the Manufacturer name into our Search, and the matching CAGE code is output. This CAGE code is then entered into the Contractors' bid submission.

If you do not have a CAGE code, you can navigate to the DLA's website to request a CAGE code.
