About this award
The Air Force Reserve Command issued a purchase order to NLS Specialties Inc. for recruiting service badges and stars, valued at $63,240, awarded July 13, 2026, with completion targeted for October 15, 2026. The order covers approximately 1,700 pieces across eight line items: AFR Basic Recruiter badges in small and large sizes (200 qty each); AFR 115% Small and Large Silver Wreath badges with star holes (200 qty each); AFR Century Small and Large Gold Wreath badges with star holes (50 qty each); AFR Master badges in small and large versions with silver and gold wreaths and star holes (50 qty each); AFRC Senior and Command Master badges; and silver and gold stars with blue numbers. Work is performed in Acworth, Georgia. The sole source acquisition rests on NLS Specialties' exclusive ownership of proprietary tooling and molds developed over 70 years as the original manufacturer of Air Force Recruiting Service badges; no competing source can replicate the official Air Force Reserve badges within the required timeframe without substantial reverse-engineering costs. The procurement originates from a May 2026 solicitation posting. The Air Force Reserve intends to conduct annual market reviews to assess future competition feasibility.
