CAGE certification awarded to yarn and nonwoven divisions

Thursday, December 7th, 2017

National Spinning has secured CAGE registration for both its National Spinning (yarn) and Carolina Nonwovens (nonwoven) divisions.

Quoting from the Federal Service Desk website, “The Commercial And Government Entity (CAGE) Code is a five-character ID number used extensively within the federal government, assigned by the Department of Defense’s Defense Logistics Agency (DLA). The CAGE code is used to support a variety of mechanized systems throughout the government and provides a standardized method of identifying a given legal entity at a specific location.  The code may be used for a facility clearance, or a pre-award survey.”

We welcome sales inquiries for Federal contacts requiring yarn or nonwoven products from CAGE suppliers.  For further information, contact sales@natspin.com.
