SF 1449 block 17

What goes in the little box labeled "code" - DUNS or Cage Code?

[Constricting Officer 0]

Cage Code. 

DUNS is located below in the same box.

So in the picture above, where does DUNS go and where does CAGE code go.

Here are the instructions issued by DoD in regard to completing block 17 "The contractor is to complete this block.  They will enter their name, address, and cage code in block 17(a), and the will place an “X” in the block 17b if they have a remittance address that is different from that addressed in Block 17(a)."

HI Retread! Thanks so so much for this, can you give me a cite?

Having flipped through a bunch of awards, I see that before aroudn 2015 there was in fact a space for DUNS at the bottom of block 17, definitely implying that DUNS doesn't go in either of the "code" boxes. But that line is gone now, and a good number of the awards I examined had the DUNS number in the first block. More than half of the awards had neither block filled out, though.

Do a google search "instructions for sf 1449"

I saw the acq,osd.mil instructions. There is out of date stuff up there, though. I am perplexed that I see such a large number of completed 1449s with the DUNS, not the cage code, in that block. It is a mystery.
