NIGP 35072: Flags, State and U.s. (Presentation): Nylon, Rayon, and Taffeta

NIGP 35072, Flags, State and U.S. (Presentation): Nylon, Rayon, and Taffeta, is an Item code under which state and local governments purchase custom and standard flags for official display, ceremonial use, and departmental operations. Recent solicitations show purchasing departments acquiring replacement flags for police operations (custom PVC police placards and American flags with specific dimensions and color specifications), municipal and state commemorative flags (Pride, Disability Pride, Juneteenth, and ceremonial variants), and bulk office-supply-bundled flags through cooperative purchasing vehicles. The issuing bodies include city police departments, municipal procurement offices, and cooperative purchasing agencies serving school systems. The scope spans both one-time replacement procurements for specific departmental needs and standing master agreements for as-needed flag orders throughout a contract term.

The City of Orlando Police Department posted a sole-source notice (S260610) on September 21, 2026, seeking 700 units of Ready Line Gear PVC flags and police placards in multiple sizes with black backgrounds and gray lettering, with a response deadline of September 17, 2026. The City of Dallas issued an RFQ (BD2600030929) on August 13, 2026, for a three-year Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity master agreement covering City of Dallas, State of Texas, U.S.A., Pride, Disability Pride, Juneteenth, ceremonial, and custom flags on an as-needed basis, with bids due September 11, 2026. Recent activity concentrates in Texas (Dallas) and Florida (Orlando), with cooperative purchasing extending the market to school systems in Georgia and member districts. Cooperative purchasing vehicles such as the Cooperative Purchasing Agency (CPA) in Georgia bundle flags with broader office-supply line items as part of larger annual bids.
