Data Edit and Review (iGIRDER)

Are you interested in reviewing or updating your reference number data in the Federal 

Catalog System (FCS)? The reference number consists of a Commercial and Government 

Entity (CAGE) Code and Part Number. The iGIRDER program was introduced to allow 

authorized individuals the ability to review and submit corrections for reference numbers 

using a web-based application that serves as both a maintenance tool and information 

source for U.S. manufacturers, vendors, and suppliers on U.S. CAGE codes only. Non-U.S. 

CAGE Code users should obtain a subscription to the NATO Master Catalogue of References 

for Logistics (NMCRL) which will allow the company to request actions as a “Private User” 

on reference numbers bearing their company’s NCAGE code. More information on NMCRL, 

its capabilities and obtaining a subscription can be found on the NMCRL page: 

https://www.nato.int/structur/AC/135/nmcrl/index.html#/home. 

iGIRDER – What’s in it for me?

 It Gives You Control – Allows for data accuracy of reference numbers by providing a mechanism to review 

reference numbers and propose changes to obsolete, incomplete or inaccurate data.

 It’s Good for Business – Serves as a real time link between the Department of Defense (DOD) and private 

industry which results in an uninterrupted �low of items required to support DOD global logistic 

requirements and ensures visibility for procurement.

 It’s a Time-Saver – Data extracts can be requested listing reference numbers that can be updated as well 

as using the data directly on the web application to submit updates consistently, securely and at no cost.
