About CageCheck: how the vendor lookup works

CageCheck is a free tool for quickly vetting a federal vendor: registration status, expiration countdown, UEI/CAGE identity, and the NAICS/PSC capability profile — from one UEI, CAGE code, or company name.

Choose a CageCheck lookup

Start with the identifier you have, or search by company name. Compare the returned entity’s name and identifiers with the vendor you intend to check before relying on its registration status.

• Search by UEI if you have the entity’s Unique Entity ID.
• Search by CAGE code if you have its five-character code.
• Search by company name if you do not have either identifier.

Read the result’s “data as of” date as well as its expiration date: the first dates the source record, while the second tells you when that record says the registration expires. A dated result is not a live confirmation. Follow the official-record link to SAM.gov before contracting or paying.

What we do

We read dated public SAM.gov entity records and present them as a readable vetting card, with an optional vendor-readiness PDF and expiration reminders. Exclusions are a separate source: we label whether that coverage was actually checked and never turn unavailable data into a clear result. We don’t register entities, we don’t renew registrations, and we never ask you to pay the government.

Our data

Entity data comes from a dated public SAM.gov Entity Management extract, with an exact-identifier API fallback when configured. Because public data can lag, every result shows a “data as of” date and links to the official record at sam.gov. Verify there before contracting or paying.
