Purchase Order HSCGG807PPPS416

The U.S. Coast Guard awarded a purchase order to Annin & Co., Inc. (doing business as Annin Flagmakers) on September 25, 2007, with a ceiling value of $11.1K for delivery by October 25, 2007. The contract, which did not utilize a set-aside designation, is associated with the Coast Guard Presidential Unit Citation for Medals and Awards Section and will be performed at Coast Guard headquarters in Washington, DC. Based on the vendor's business classification as a flagmaker, the contract likely involves the procurement of flags or related materials for official Coast Guard use in connection with presidential unit citations and awards ceremonies.

The contracting process included competitive solicitation, with the award documentation noting that Mr. Manalo of CG-122 would hand-carry three vendor price quotes and supporting documentation to the Health Services Command (A-3) for processing. This standard procurement procedure demonstrates the Coast Guard's adherence to competitive bidding practices for the selection of Annin Flagmakers as the awardee for this time-sensitive, low-value purchase order.
