A CAGE Code (Commercial and Government Entity Code) is a standardized, 5-character alphanumeric identifier issued by the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) to verify physical manufacturing locations and authorized federal suppliers for U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) procurement. At ASAP Aero Supplies, we provide an integrated search directory to lookup verified CAGE codes or cross-reference defense hardware instantly.

Technical Structure & Formatting Rules
To ensure strict compliance with federal cataloging standards, all CAGE codes strictly adhere to standard DLA formatting protocols:
Length: Exactly 5 alphanumeric characters long. Fixed-length string assigned per physical facility location.
Formatting Rule: First and last characters are numeric, while the middle 3 characters can be any combination of letters and numbers.
Exclusions: Letters "I" and "O" are strictly excluded from all CAGE codes to eliminate visual confusion with numbers 1 and 0.
International Use: Non-U.S. entities receive a NATO CAGE (NCAGE) Code, integrating international suppliers seamlessly into the global NATO Codification System.
