NIGP 35020: Flag Accessories: Belts, Brackets, Covers, Crosses, Eagles, Holders, Sockets, Spears, Staffs, Stands, and Tassels

NIGP 35020 Flag Accessories Item code encompasses belts, brackets, covers, crosses, eagles, holders, sockets, spears, staffs, stands, and tassels that state and local governments procure for ceremonial, display, and operational flagpole applications. Recent solicitations show school districts and cooperative purchasing agencies sourcing flag-related items as part of broader office and desktop supplies bids, alongside administrative materials like binders, fasteners, and storage solutions. Issuing bodies include school districts, county governments through cooperative purchasing vehicles, and special-purpose procurement organizations serving multiple jurisdictions. The scope of work reflects routine procurement of flag display hardware and ceremonial accessories, typically bundled into larger office-supply contracts rather than solicited as standalone items.

Geographic activity spans multiple states, with recent opportunities posted from Georgia (Cooperative Purchasing Agency serving 35 school systems across the state), Texas (Garland Independent School District), and the Pacific Northwest (Sourcewell serving Franklin, Grant, Grays Harbor, Chelan, and Yakima Counties in Washington, along with participating entities nationwide). A representative recent opportunity is CPA's 2027-006 Office Supplies Bid, posted August 10, 2026 with a September 29, 2026 response deadline; this cooperative purchasing agency bid encompassed approximately 150+ line items including potential flag accessories bundled with other office supplies, with F.O.B. destination pricing to Cleveland, Georgia and a contract period running through December 31, 2027. Garland Independent School District's National Defense Cadet Corps Uniforms and Equipment RFP (181-27), due June 23, 2026, represents a narrower procurement that may include flag-related ceremonial equipment within the broader cadet program scope.
