Commercial and Government Entity Code (CAGE)
A five-character code identifying a facility location.
Definition
A CAGE code identifies a specific business location for contracting, logistics, and payment purposes and is assigned during SAM registration.
Why it matters
Multi-location firms must bid under the correct CAGE or risk performance and invoicing errors.
Example
A contractor holds separate CAGE codes for its Texas and Virginia facilities.
