National Codification System

compliant with the
NATO Codification System

The Codification System is the common international language for all logistic information systems used in NATO. It submits information about the names, drawings, products characteristics, their manufacturers, suppliers and users. This information is necessary to provide unity and unambiguous supply in signing contracts for delivery of defence-related products and participation of the Armed Forces of R.Bulgaria in joint international operations.

The implementation of interoperability  in the field of codification and defence materiel maintenance and supply is one of the basic tasks of the Armed Forces of R.Bulgaria for the fulfillment of its mission as a NATO member-country.

The National Codification System comprises a data base that is compatible with and uses the NATO Master Catalogue of References for Logistics - NMCRL.

For the purpose of implementation of Ministerial Decree No. 11/26.01.1999 and Ministerial Order No. OH-1057/23.12.2020, the assignment of NCAGE codes and NATO Stock Numbers is performed by means of the following model documents:

1. Request for a NCAGE Code;

2. Request for assignment of a NATO Stock Number ,
which has to be sent as an appendix to an official letter to the postal address listed herebelow.

The NATO Codification System is the most comprehensive Codification and Cataloguing system in the world. Its database now contains over 16 mln NATO Stock Numbers and it is used by over 60 nations around the world.
