Fixing some instruments I often come across 5 figures Mfr. # in the nomenclature. Unfortunately there's often no name/Mfr# table.
Is there such a thing as an official Mfr.# list (and where) or is there as many lists as instrument manufacturers and the 5 figures # are just coincidences?

That number is what\'s known as a Commercial And Government Entity
(CAGE) code and it\'s maintained by the Defense Logistics Information
Service (DLIS):
