CAGE Codes for Intelligence Community
~$85B in annual federal contracts
About IC Contracting
The Intelligence Community (IC) includes NSA, CIA, DIA, NGA, NRO, and other agencies. Many IC contracts are classified, but vendors still need CAGE codes and SAM.gov registrations for the unclassified procurement vehicles (OTAs, BPAs, IDIQs) used as entry points. Cleared contractors must also register in JPAS/DISS and maintain active facility clearances.
Like all federal agencies, IC requires every vendor and subcontractor receiving direct government payments to hold an active CAGE code and a current SAM.gov registration. The CAGE code uniquely identifies your company in the federal procurement system and appears on all contract actions, invoices, and vendor records. Without it, you cannot receive an award or payment from IC.

CAGE Code Requirements for IC Vendors
To sell to Intelligence Community, every vendor — from large prime contractors to small businesses and subcontractors receiving direct government payments — must have:
- An active CAGE code assigned by DLA through SAM.gov
- An active SAM.gov registration (renewed annually)
- A valid UEI (Unique Entity Identifier)
- A completed Representations & Certifications section in SAM.gov
Small businesses pursuing set-aside contracts with IC should also complete any applicable SBA certifications (8(a), WOSB, SDVOSB, HUBZone) — these are linked to your CAGE code record in SAM.gov.
