What Is a CAGE Code and Why Your Business Needs One
A CAGE Code is your business’s entry ticket into government contracting. Learn what it is, why you need one, and how American Made Star uses it to supply trusted U.S.-made apparel.
What Is a CAGE Code and Why Your Business Needs One
Q: What is a CAGE Code?
A CAGE Code (Commercial and Government Entity Code) is a five-character ID number assigned to businesses that want to work with the U.S. government. Think of it like a business fingerprint — it tells government agencies exactly who you are, where you’re located, and what you can provide.
Q: Who issues it?
The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) issues CAGE Codes for U.S. businesses once they’ve registered in the System for Award Management (SAM.gov).
Q: Why is it important?
• ✅ Required to bid on government contracts
• ✅ Identifies your business as an official, verified supplier
• ✅ Helps government buyers find and trust your company
Without a CAGE Code, you cannot compete for federal contracts — even if your product or service is in demand.
Q: How do you get one?
1. Register your business on SAM.gov
2. The DLA automatically assigns your CAGE Code after registration
3. You’ll receive your code by email, usually within 10 business days
Q: Example from the apparel industry
At American Made Star, we received our CAGE Code after registering on SAM.gov, which allows us to provide government-grade uniforms, apparel, and sustainable clothing for agencies across the U.S.
Why It Matters for Small Businesses
Government contracts aren’t just for giant corporations. With programs like small business set-asides and women-owned business opportunities, smaller companies can win federal bids too. Having a CAGE Code is the first step toward unlocking those opportunities.
✨ In short:
If you want to do business with the U.S. government, getting a CAGE Code is non-negotiable. It’s your official pass into the world of federal contracts, bids, and long-term opportunities.
👉 At American Made Star, we proudly use our CAGE Code to supply quality, American-made apparel that meets federal standards — where fashion meets function.
