With the assignment of CAGE Code 11Q10, CVPSD is now fully vetted and authorized to provide its specialized training services directly to Federal government agencies and the Department of Defense.

The Commercial and Government Entity (CAGE) code is a unique identifier assigned by the DLA to suppliers who have met the rigorous standards required to do business with the U.S. Federal Government. This approval signifies that CVPSD has satisfied all necessary procurement readiness requirements, streamlining the purchasing process for federal movement agencies seeking evidence-based safety and defense training.

"Receiving our DLA approval and CAGE code is a significant milestone for our organization," said William DeMuth, Director of Training at CVPSD. "It validates the quality and reliability of our curriculum and allows us to expand our mission of empowerment and safety to the federal employees who serve our nation. Agencies can now access our training with the confidence that we meet the strict compliance and operational standards of the federal marketplace."

Streamlining Access to Critical Safety Training Federal agencies can now utilize CAGE Code 11Q10 to rapidly procure CVPSD’s comprehensive suite of safety programs.
