NIGP 35045: Flags: Municipal, School, Departmental, Agency, etc.

NIGP 35045 Flags: Municipal, School, Departmental, Agency, Etc., an Item code, covers the purchase and delivery of flags for government and institutional use, including municipal and state flags, commemorative flags (Pride, Disability Pride, Juneteenth), ceremonial flags, and custom flags acquired by state and local agencies on an as-needed basis. State and local governments use this code to procure flags through open bids, cooperative purchasing agreements, and micro purchases for installation, display, and ceremonial purposes. Issuing bodies range from municipalities such as Dallas, Philadelphia, and Greenville, Texas to cooperative purchasing agencies serving school systems, including the Georgia-based Cooperative Purchasing Agency (CPA), which aggregates demand across 35 school systems to consolidate procurement and drive volume discounts.
