Port Gdański Eksploatacja secures NATO NCAGE code. Gdańsk port company lines up for defence tenders
Port Gdański Eksploatacja S.A. has been assigned an NCAGE code by Poland's Military Centre for Standardisation, Quality and Codification, under the NATO Codification System. The identifier is a formal requirement in a range of procurement procedures, including defence-related contracts, and positions the Gdańsk port company to bid for work where suppliers must be registered in NATO databases.
In brief
Port Gdański Eksploatacja has received an NCAGE code from the Military Centre for Standardisation, Quality and Codification under the NATO Codification System. The NCAGE code is a five-character identifier often required in procurement by the NATO Support and Procurement Agency (NSPA) and in the US SAM system. The NCAGE code prepares Port Gdański Eksploatacja for defence tenders in Poland and abroad, but does not replace the required licences and certificates.
A five-character key to NATO supplier databases
The NATO Commercial and Government Entity Code (NCAGE) is a unique five-character identifier assigned to businesses. It operates within the NATO Codification System (NCS) and identifies companies in the international databases used for logistics and supply processes. Polish codes are issued by the Military Centre for Standardisation, Quality and Codification and always end in the letter H.
The code is frequently required in tenders run by international defence bodies such as the NATO Support and Procurement Agency (NSPA), as well as in the US System for Award Management (SAM) used for federal contracts. For Port Gdański Eksploatacja, it makes the company easier to identify in the international logistics and procurement environment.
Port services for international defence partners
The company sees the code as a way to present itself as a partner and service provider on international markets. The move forms part of its strategy to grow the business, strengthen its position in port and logistics services and widen cooperation with partners in Poland and abroad.
The identifier does not replace other formal requirements. In each procedure the company will still need to meet the conditions set out in the tender documentation, including the necessary licences and certificates. With the code in place, however, Port Gdański Eksploatacja now appears among the companies that defence bodies across NATO member states can find in their supplier databases.
