10. To request an NCAGE from a country other than the countries listed in the block 2, connect to the non-NATO NCAGE tool at http://nmcrlplus.namsa.nato.int. That site is hosted by the NATO Maintenance and Supply Agency (NAMSA) in Luxembourg. • When you get to that Web site, click on the "CAGE Code Request" tab and follow the instructions. • The first screen you will come to will allow you to check to see if an NCAGE is already assigned to the company that you require an NCAGE for. If your search does not find an existing NCAGE, click on the tab called "Request New CAGE" at the bottom of the search results screen. Follow the instructions provided on the Web site. • After you submit your request, you will automatically receive: • 1) a request confirmation/validation e-mail message and • 2) a second e-mail message once the CAGE request is processed (assignment of the code or reject of the request).

Business Identification Number Cross- Reference System (BINCS) • Prior to registering in CCR, insure that your newly assigned NCAGE is listed on the Business Identification Number Cross- Reference System (BINCS) at http://www.logisticsinformationservice.dla.mil/BINCS/.  If the assigned NCAGE is not listed in BINCS call the Customer Interaction Center at: 269-961-7766 or 1-877-352-2255 or send a message to dlacontactcenter@dla.mil.
