The NCAGE Code Request User Guide outlines the process for requesting or updating NATO Commercial & Government Entity Codes (NCAGE). It is divided into four main sections: checking existing NCAGE codes, updating existing codes, requesting new NCAGE codes, and specific instructions for supranational organizations. Users can start by visiting the designated online portal to search for existing codes using known details. If the code needs updating, users must fill out a request form with relevant organizational and contact information, validate their submission, and await confirmation.
For organizations without an existing NCAGE code, a nine-step wizard guides users through the request process, requiring mandatory data such as entity type, registration country, geographical location, and contact information. Finally, supranational organizations, like the UN and EU, must email NCAGE for their requests, including specific identification details.
In summary, this guide serves as a comprehensive reference for organizations engaging in government contracts or grants to manage their NCAGE codes effectively, crucial for participation in federal and state procurement activities.
