CAGE Code

A CAGE (Commercial and Government Entity) Code is a five-character alphanumeric identifier assigned to entities doing business with the federal government. It is used for procurement, logistics, and supply chain management.

How It Works

CAGE codes are assigned automatically during SAM.gov registration for domestic entities. Foreign entities must request a NCAGE code. The CAGE code identifies your business in the Defense Logistics Agency system and is used on all Department of Defense contracts and logistics documentation.

Example

A manufacturing company receives CAGE code 7AB2C during SAM.gov registration. This code appears on all their military supply contracts and is used by DoD logistics systems to track orders and deliveries.
