A CAGE Code (Commercial and Government Entity Code) is a five-character identifier used to identify a company, organization, or facility involved in government procurement. In the United States, CAGE Codes are maintained through the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA), while organizations outside the U.S. may use NCAGE Codes.
Aerospace Exchange helps buyers research CAGE Codes, manufacturers, suppliers, part numbers, and National Stock Numbers (NSNs). Search by CAGE Code, manufacturer name, part number, or NSN to research components across aerospace, aviation, defense, MRO, electronics, and industrial manufacturing.
What Is a CAGE Code Used For?
A CAGE Code identifies an entity, not a specific product. Buyers can use it with a manufacturer part number (MPN) and NSN to identify the organization associated with a procurement record. An NSN identifies a standardized supply item, while an MPN identifies a specific manufacturer's component. Using these identifiers together helps buyers verify part information and improve sourcing accuracy.
How to Search for a CAGE Code
Enter a CAGE Code, manufacturer, part number, or NSN in the search.
Review the associated manufacturer or supplier and available part information.
Compare the part number, NSN, description, and other details with your requirement.
Submit an RFQ with quantity, condition, delivery requirements, and documentation needs.
If you cannot find an exact result, check leading zeros, alternate part-number formats, manufacturer-name variations, or related NSNs. A CAGE Code lookup can help narrow supplier and manufacturer research.
Why Use Aerospace Exchange?
Aerospace Exchange helps procurement teams, MRO organizations, aviation buyers, and defense contractors research CAGE Codes and source aerospace and NSN parts. Depending on the product and supplier, documentation may include Certificates of Conformance (CoC), Certificates of Origin, traceability records, inspection reports, and material certifications.
A CAGE Code alone does not confirm product authenticity, availability, condition, certification, or regulatory compliance. Verify the complete part record before purchase.
