NIGP 35040: Flags, International and Special Occasion

NIGP 35040 Flags, International And Special Occasion is an Item code that encompasses the procurement of flags for municipal display, operations, and public use. State and local governments solicit under this code primarily for U.S. and city flags required for government buildings, parks, and civic events. Issuing bodies are typically city procurement offices; the City of Philadelphia has posted multiple solicitations for flag purchases in recent months, indicating routine replenishment and operational demand. The work involves direct purchase of finished flag products with delivery contingent on municipal approval; quotes are solicited through electronic procurement portals with low-dollar contract ceilings and short response windows.

Recent activity centers on the City of Philadelphia, which issued a micro purchase for flags (Solicitation B2727474, due July 20, 2026, with a $45,000 contract ceiling) and a small order purchase for City and US Flags (Solicitation B2627175, due June 1, 2026, with a $43,000 maximum contract value). Both solicitations were posted through PHLContracts and awarded to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder on a whole-contract or line-item basis, with quotes due electronically and insurance requirements mandated at standard municipal levels. No geographic spread beyond Philadelphia appears in the available solicitation records.
