Understanding CAGE and NCAGE Codes

Posted on by Noah King

Understanding CAGE and NCAGE Codes

CAGE (Commercial and Government Entity) and NCAGE (NATO Commercial and Government Entity) codes are crucial for businesses involved in U.S. federal contracting. A CAGE code is assigned to U.S.-based suppliers and government agencies by the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) and is used primarily within the United States. An NCAGE code is assigned to companies located internationally, managed by the NATO Support and Procurement Agency (NSPA), and is necessary for non-U.S. entities wishing to do business with U.S. government agencies or NATO countries.

Importance for SAM Registration

SAM (System for Award Management) registration is mandatory for businesses seeking to work with the U.S. federal government. U.S.-based entities receive a CAGE code during the SAM registration process, while non-U.S. entities must obtain an NCAGE code before registering in SAM. These codes verify the legitimacy of businesses and facilitate their participation in federal contracts, grants, and other government opportunities.

What is the Importance of Federal Contracting?

Posted on by joe klein

The Importance of Federal Contracting

Federal contracting is a crucial avenue for businesses looking to expand their market reach and secure consistent revenue streams. Engaging in federal contracts allows businesses to work directly with the government, leading to significant financial stability and growth opportunities. The federal government is one of the largest consumers of goods and services, offering billions of dollars in contracts each year. This creates a reliable source of income and opens doors to long-term partnerships, enhancing a company’s credibility and market position.

  • Access to a large and reliable customer (the federal government)
  • Opportunities for long-term partnerships and contracts
  • Enhanced credibility and market presence

However, navigating the complexities of federal contracting by yourself can be challenging and overwhelming. With the team of Certified Registration Specialists (CRS), USBRI provides expert assistance in obtaining necessary registrations and certifications, ensuring compliance with federal standards, and streamlining the application process. CRS support significantly reduces the time and effort required, increasing the likelihood of securing contracts and setting the stage for sustainable business growth.
