NIGP 350: Flags, Flag Poles, Banners, and Accessories

NIGP Class 350, Flags, Flag Poles, Banners, and Accessories, encompasses the supply and installation of flagpoles, flags, banners, and related hardware that state and local governments procure for civic, educational, and facility display purposes. Recent solicitations show state and local bodies acquiring 30-foot to 190-foot flagpoles for police departments, city halls, and public parks; vinyl banners for college campuses and promotional events; and nylon US flags for fire departments and public facilities. Issuing bodies include municipalities (City of Dallas, City of Round Rock, City of Greenville, City of Concord), state agencies (New Hampshire Department of Administrative Services), community colleges (Mt. Hood Community College), and independent school districts. The code captures both single-location installations—a 40-foot fiberglass flagpole at a New Hampshire state office—and multi-site banner programs serving community colleges, with contracts typically awarded to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder or on best-value criteria.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas and the broader South, with notable opportunities in Texas cities (Dallas, Round Rock, Greenville) and the Upper South (New Hampshire). The New Hampshire Department of Administrative Services issued an IFB for flagpole supply and installation at 25 Hall Street in Concord with bids due July 29, 2026, requiring separate material and labor pricing, general liability insurance of at least $1 million per occurrence, and a one-year warranty. The City of Round Rock solicited an RFP for three 30-foot aluminum flagpoles with internal halyard systems and removal of existing poles, with bids due April 20, 2026, evaluated on best value considering price, experience, and safety performance. Mt. Hood Community College in Oregon requested bids for removal and installation of 60th Anniversary vinyl banners measuring 30" by 60" and 24" by 48", with 54 to 92 banners across multiple campus locations, bids due June 29, 2026. The City of Dallas issued an IFB for 5x8 nylon US flags with delivery to its Fire Department supply facility, bids due February 6, 2026, with FOB delivery pricing and a one-year warranty required.
