The California Department of Transportation has awarded a contract to the Prison Industry Authority for the procurement of flags, with a total contract value of $25,440.00. The contract, identified as NON-IT Goods PO-162600000078, was executed on October 20, 2025, with the same date designated as the completion date. The award encompasses the purchase of four distinct flag types: California Bear Flags in 5' x 8' polyester (108 units at $55 each) and 4' x 6' polyester (120 units at $40 each), as well as U.S. Stars and Stripes Flags in 4' x 6' (120 units at $40 each) and 5' x 8' sizes (180 units at $55 each).

Delivery for the contract will be made to 2001 Evergreen Street in Sacramento, California, with the understanding that deliveries will occur during standard operational hours, excluding state holidays. The contract includes a notable stipulation regarding duplicate orders, which would incur a 25% restocking fee and round-trip freight charges. The procurement appears to be mandated by the California Penal Code, suggesting these flags are intended for official state government use, with the Prison Industry Authority serving as the prime contractor responsible for fulfilling the flag order for the Department of Transportation.
