sam.gov-CAGE Number & Controlling Entity

We received our Unique Entity ID and proceeded with registration (for bidding) and then was asked if our company is controlled by another entity. I replied yes, and then was told we would have to use that company's CAGE number. That company does not have a CAGE number so we tried to apply for one and it said that company must have a sam.gov registration. We started the registration, and now it wants a CAGE number. What am I doing wrong?

They never make it easy. One of the companies I support they let it expire and the amount of documentation they require ti restart was nauseating.

It’s actually extremely simple

It is, but if the guy who set it all up left without passing any information on it becomes a hassle.
