            TITLE 48--FEDERAL ACQUISITION REGULATIONS SYSTEM
 
                    CHAPTER 2--DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE
 
PART 204--ADMINISTRATIVE MATTERS--Table of Contents
 
                Subpart 204.72--Contractor Identification
 
Sec. 204.7202-1   CAGE codes.

    (a) DLIS assigns or records and maintains CAGE codes to identify 
commercial and Government entities. DoD 4000.25-5-M, Military Standard 
Contract Administration Procedures (MILSCAP), and Volume 7 of DoD 
4100.39-M, Federal Logistics Information System (FLIS) Procedures 
Manual, prescribe use of CAGE codes.
    (b)(1) If a prospective contractor must register in the Central 
Contractor Registration (CCR) database (see subpart 204.73) and does not 
have a CAGE code, DLIS will assign a CAGE code when the prospective 
contractor submits its request for registration in the CCR database.
    (2) If registration in the CCR database is not required, the 
prospective contractor's CAGE code is not already available in the 
contracting office, and the prospective contractor does not respond to 
the provision at 252.204-7001, Commercial and Government Entity (CAGE) 
Code Reporting, use the following procedures:
    (i) To identify the prospective contractor's CAGE code, use--
    (A) The monthly H-series CD ROM that contains the H-4/H-8 CAGE 
master file issued by DLIS (Their address is: Customer Service, Federal 
Center, 74 Washington Avenue, North, Battle Creek, MI 49017-3084. Their 
telephone number is: toll-free 1-888-352-9333);
    (B) The on-line access to the CAGE file through the Defense 
Logistics Information System;
    (C) The on-line access to the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) CAGE 
file through the DLA Network or dial-up capability; or
    (D) The Internet to access the CAGE Lookup Server at http://
www.dlis.dla.mil/cageserve.htm.
    (ii) If no CAGE code is identified through use of the procedures in 
paragraph (b)(2)(i) of this subsection, ask DLIS to assign a CAGE code. 
Submit a DD Form 2051, Request for Assignment of a Commercial and 
Government Entity (CAGE) Code, (or electronic equivalent) to the address 
in paragraph (b)(2)(i)(A) of this subsection, ATTN: DLIS-SBB. The 
contracting office completes Section A of the DD Form 2051, and the 
contractor completes Section B. The contracting office must verify 
Section B before submitting the form.
    (c) Direct questions on obtaining computer tapes, electronic 
updates, or code assignments to DLIS Customer Service: toll-free (888) 
227-2423 or (888) 352-9333; DSN 932-4725; or commercial (616) 961-4725.
