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

NIGP 350 Flags, Flag Poles, Banners, and Accessories is a Class code covering the procurement of flags, flagpoles, banners, and related mounting hardware and installation services by state and local governments. Recent solicitations show state and local buyers purchasing individual flags (U.S., state, ceremonial, Pride, and custom designs) in volume through master agreements; flagpoles ranging from 40-foot fiberglass to 190-foot steel structures with foundations, electrical systems, and LED lighting; vinyl banners for campus anniversaries and promotional campaigns; and turnkey sponsorship programs that combine banner design, production, and placement. Issuing bodies span state departments, city procurement offices, community colleges, and school districts. The New Hampshire Department of Administrative Services, Division of Procurement and Support Services, has posted multiple opportunities under this code, including a request for flags (nylon and spun polyester, U.S. through 812 feet) with firm pricing for two years and a 95% on-time delivery requirement, and a separate solicitation for a 40-foot fiberglass flagpole with installation at a state office in Concord. Cities including Dallas, Greenville (Texas), and Palm Bay, as well as Mt. Hood Community College in Oregon, have solicited flagpoles, banners, and banner sponsorship programs. The City of Dallas issued two separate ID/IQ master agreements—one for a turnkey banner sponsorship program for Parks and Recreation and another for flags (City of Dallas, State of Texas, U.S.A., Pride, Disability Pride, Juneteenth, and custom designs) ordered on an as-needed basis.
