NCAGE Code

The U.S. established the Commercial and Government Entity Code (CAGE), a code assigned to organizations (manufacturers, distributors, organizations, etc.) to facilitate the supply chain.

The NATO Codification System (NCS) was established in 1958. In order to differentiate between the U.S. and NATO systems, CAGE was referred to as NATO COMMERCIAL and GOVERNMENT ENTITY CODE (NCAGE) in the NCS community. When a business/organization is assigned a CAGE/NCAGE, they are in fact the same type/structure of code but identifies which nation or if NATO Support Agency (NSPA) assigned the CAGE/NCAGE.

The registration process begins with two critical elements:

Physical location of your business/organization Who your business/organization wishes to conduct business with.
