Abstract

<strong>Introduction</strong> <br>a. The procedures in this chapter prescribe the input modes/formats and instructions to be followed by activities/agencies when submitting requests to the Defense Logistics Information Service (DLIS) for processing new code assignments and/or maintenance actions for: <br>(1) Commercial and Government Entity Code (CAGE). A five-position alphanumeric code with a numeric in the first and last positions (e.g., 27340, 2A345, 2AA45, or 2AAA5), excluding the letters I and O assigned to U.S. organizations which manufacture and/or control the design of items supplied to a Government Military or Civil Agency or assigned to U.S. organizations, primarily for identifying contractors in the mechanical interchange of data required by MILSCAP and the Service/Agency automatic data processing (ADP) systems. The CAGE data provides the data base for the LOLA and FEDLOG application and the H series products on CD-ROM. <br>(2) NATO Commercial and Government Entity (NCAGE) Code. A five position alphanumeric code requiring an alpha in either the first and/or fifth position excluding the letter O, (e.g., AA123, 3AAAA, 1234K, K2345 or A1234A), assigned to organizations located in North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) member nations (excluding U.S.) and other foreign countries which manufacture and/or control the design of items supplied to a Government Military Activity or Civil Agency. The prefix (first position) of a NCAGE code of I, S, L, O, will not be utilized with any alpha suffix (fifth position) in the NCAGE Code structure.The NCAGE data provides the data base for the LOLA and FEDLOG application and the H series products on CD-ROM. <br>b. The FLIS design features of the DLIS CAGE Master CAGE/NCAGE File provide for submission of multimedia type input in a mechanized format. Resulting output from DLIS will be incorporated into the mechanized systems of recorded recipient Services and Agencies. (See volume 10, table 134 for DLIS/foreign governments responsible for assigning and maintaining CAGE/NCAGE). <br>c. Submission mode of proposed input transactions will be by an on-line system input by DLIS only.
