NIGP 35070: Flags, State and U.s.: Cotton, Nylon, Polyester, and Wool

NIGP 35070 Flags, State And U.S.: Cotton, Nylon, Polyester, And Wool is an Item code under which state and local governments procure physical flags for municipal, school, and departmental use—including US national flags, state flags, city flags, and organizational flags in various materials and sizes. The recent opportunities show purchasing focused on nylon and polyester flags in standard sizes (3' x 5' through 6' x 10'), often with specifications for domestic manufacturing, alongside related flag maintenance and rotation services. Cities, independent school districts, and cooperative purchasing agencies are the primary issuing bodies; the City of Philadelphia has posted multiple flag solicitations in recent months (micro purchases with cycles of 12 months), while Granite School District in Utah recently solicited flag rotation and replacement services, and the Cooperative Purchasing Agency (CPA) in Georgia, serving 35 school systems, has bid cycles that include flag-related supplies.

Recent activity concentrates in the Southeast and West, with posted opportunities from the City of Philadelphia (Pennsylvania), City of Tampa (Florida), Cooperative Purchasing Agency (Georgia), Granite School District (Utah), and Northside Independent School District (San Antonio, Texas).
