Commercial And Government Entity

CAGE codes are all five characters in length. There is no meaning encoded in the code itself; it is simply a unique identifier.
Examples are:

United States - The first and last characters must be digits. The remaining characters can be digits or any letter except for I or O.

France - The first character is the letter F followed by four digits (example F0134).

United Kingdom - The first character is either the letter U or K followed by four digits (example K1182).

CAGE is sometimes expanded as "Commercial Activity/Government Entity", "Contractor And Government Entity", or other, similar variations. According to the DLIS website, "Commercial And Government Entity" is proper.

It was previously known as Federal Supply Code for Manufacturers, or FSCM.
