What it identifies

A CAGE Code links contracts, RFQs and part numbers to the correct legal entity. It is used heavily in traceability, export control and supplier approval processes.

CAGE + part number

Many catalog records identify items as CAGE + Part Number. That combination uniquely tells the system which manufacturer’s design is being used.
