After you submit your SAM Registration, it will go through two validation processes, IRS Consent Validation and DLA/CAGE Code assignment. Your CAGE code will be assigned by the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA, also known as CAGE) after it completes the validation process. This usually takes 2-3 weeks depending on if DLA has any follow up questions during the registration and approval process.
During the SAM Registration process, you may be asked to submit additional documentation to confirm your entity’s information within these federal databases along with the entity’s status within the state in which it was registered.
