A CAGE code is a five-character identifier that is assigned by the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) to businesses that are engaged in government contracting. The acronym CAGE stands for "Commercial and Government Entity" code. It is used to identify and track contractors and vendors that supply goods and services to the federal government.

Obtaining a CAGE code is an important step for businesses looking to work with the federal government, as it is often required for various government procurement activities, including bidding on contracts and receiving payments. The CAGE code is used by government agencies to track and manage contracts and transactions with suppliers.

The process of obtaining a CAGE code involves submitting an application to the DLA, providing information such as the business's legal name, address, and tax ID number. The DLA will then verify the information and assign a unique CAGE code to the business.

Businesses are required to update their CAGE code information as needed, for example, if the business changes its name, address or ownership. If a business merges or acquires another business with a CAGE code, it will keep its own code but inform the DLA about the change.

It's important to note that a CAGE code does not imply any type of endorsement or approval by the government, it is a way for the government to identify and track contractors.

It's also important to note that there are other codes similar to CAGE codes like the NCAGE code (NATO Commercial and Government Entity) and the FCAGE code (Federal Commercial and Government Entity) which are used by other international and federal agencies and businesses may be required to register for those codes as well. Our team at Government Contract Solutions LLC can assist businesses with the CAGE code registration process, as well as the other codes registration process and ensure that they are fully compliant with all applicable regulations and requirements.
