NIGP 35030: Flag Poles, All Types

NIGP 35030 Flag Poles, All Types, an Item code, covers the procurement and installation of flagpoles across state and local government. Recent state and local opportunities show government bodies purchasing standalone flagpoles in varied configurations—ranging from 30-foot aluminum poles with internal halyard systems to 190-foot carbon steel diminishing-section poles with comprehensive electrical and LED lighting systems—along with associated installation, foundation work, and in some cases removal of existing infrastructure. The work includes both simple commodity purchases (a 50-foot aluminum flagpole with standard hardware and a nylon flag) and design-build construction services where contractors provide engineering, design, and complex installation including electrical systems, foundation design, and site-specific customization. Issuing bodies include city municipal governments (Dallas, Greenville, Round Rock), independent school districts (Garland), state departments and authorities (Texas Department of Criminal Justice), and special-purpose regional authorities (Heart of Georgia Regional Airport Authority).

Recent activity concentrates in Texas, with five of six recent solicitations posted there between April and June 2026. The City of Greenville, Texas issued two related flagpole RFPs (2026RFP061 and the subsequent rebid 2026RFP062) for a design-build 190-foot steel flagpole with LED lighting and flag maintenance, both requiring sealed proposals with bid, performance, and payment bonds and substantial evaluation on experience with comparable projects. The City of Dallas Parks & Recreation Department solicited a 50-foot aluminum flagpole purchase and installation (IFB IFSPKRB2600020) by April 14, 2026, with firm pricing valid for 180 days and standard liability and workers' compensation insurance requirements. The City of Round Rock issued a competitive bid (RFP 26-303) for provision and installation of three 30-foot aluminum flagpoles with concurrent removal of existing poles, due April 20, 2026, evaluated on best-value criteria including price, experience, and safety. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice posted a flagpole-with-installation procurement (IW252073) with a June 9, 2026 response deadline through its Bonfire portal. A Georgia-based opportunity—the Heart of Georgia Regional Airport Authority's sealed bid for runway lighting, signage, and windcone replacement (PE33555NONST2026000000001)—due March 4, 2026, indicates flagpole-related work extends beyond standard municipal flagpole installations into infrastructure-critical airport applications requiring federal Davis-Bacon wage compliance and substantial bonding.
