Manufacturer code number list?

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?

The only type of numeric identity list I know of is OUIs (for ethernet MACs, for instance). It's administered by IEEE, as I recall.

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):

I call them "mouse numbers", and unless you work for the damn company that did that foolishment and work in the department that did that, you are SOL.

The EIA maintains a list of all manufacturers by code number. We used it in the past to locate manufacturers of computer monitors
