Registering Your Business with the Government

Before you can bid on government contracts, you'll need to obtain a couple of registrations for your business.

• First

  • You will need a D-U-N-S number, a unique nine-digit identification number for each physical location of your business.

    To do business with DLA, vendors need a D-U-N-S number from Dun & Bradstreet (D&B).
    The D-U-N-S Number is a unique nine-digit identification sequence, which provides unique identifiers of single business entities, while linking corporate family structures together. http://www.dnb.com/US/duns_update/index.html.  DUNS Phone Number 1–800–333–0505.

• Second:

  • Register in the new (SAM) System for Award Management which replaced the (CCR) Central Contractors Registration May 29, 2012 .

• CAGE CODE

  • Note:
    Approximately 4-5 business days after your SAM application is approved, NCAGE/CAGE Codes will be assigned and delivered by e-mail.

  • The Commercial and Government Entity (CAGE) Code is a five position code that identifies contractors doing business with the Federal Government, NATO member nations, and other foreign governments. The CAGE Code is used to support a variety of mechanized systems throughout the government and provides for a standardized method of identifying a given facility at a specific location. The code may be used for a Facility Clearance, a pre-award survey, automated Bidders Lists, identification of Debarred Bidders, fast pay processes, etc.
