What is a CAGE code? How are CAGE Codes assigned?

The Commercial And Government Entity (CAGE) Code is a five-character ID number used extensively within the federal government. The CAGE code  is used to support a variety of mechanized systems throughout the government and provides a standardized method of identifying a given facility at a specific location.  The code may be used for a facility clearance, or a pre-award survey. You do not need to have a CAGE code prior to registration as one will be automatically assigned to you as a part of your entity's registration in SAM. CAGE codes are assigned by DoD's Defense Logistics Agency (DLA).  For issues or status requests about your CAGE code, contact DoD DLA at:

Toll Free: 1-877-352-2255
Commercial/FTS: 1-269-961-7766
DSN: 661-7766
Email: dlacontactcenter@dla.mil

Note: CAGE codes for entities located outside the United States and its territories are called NCAGE codes.
