CAGE Codes for National Aeronautics and Space Administration
~$20B in annual federal contracts
About NASA Contracting
NASA awards contracts for launch systems, spacecraft, science instruments, IT services, and facility management. Vendors supporting any NASA center — from JPL to Johnson Space Center to Goddard — need a valid CAGE code and SAM.gov registration. NASA relies on both large primes and a robust small business supplier base.
Like all federal agencies, NASA 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 NASA.

CAGE Code Requirements for NASA Vendors
To sell to National Aeronautics and Space Administration, 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 NASA should also complete any applicable SBA certifications (8(a), WOSB, SDVOSB, HUBZone) — these are linked to your CAGE code record in SAM.gov.
