UNSPSC 55121715: Flags or accessories

UNSPSC 55121715 Flags or accessories is a Commodity code under which state and local governments procure flags — primarily U.S. national flags, city flags, and nylon American flags in various sizes for departmental and operational use. Recent solicitations show purchasing bodies acquiring flags for display and operational purposes, with specifications ranging from standard 3-by-5-foot through 6-by-10-foot nylon flags manufactured in the USA. The work is straightforward goods procurement, typically handled through micro purchases, RFQs, or sealed-bid processes awarded to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder. Issuing bodies include city procurement departments and school districts; the City of Philadelphia appears as a repeat buyer, having posted flag solicitations in both June and August 2026.

Recent activity concentrates in Florida and Pennsylvania. The City of Philadelphia Procurement Department issued a micro purchase for U.S. National and City Flags (Solicitation B2727840, due August 31, 2026, contract not to exceed $45,000 adjusted annually by CPI-U) requiring Local Business Entity certification and a minimum of $500,000 general liability insurance. The City of Tampa, Florida Purchasing Department solicited quotes for nylon American flags (Solicitation 26P00487, due August 20, 2026) specifying three line items totaling 69 flags in sizes from 3-by-5 feet through 6-by-10 feet, FOB Destination with delivery within five business days and firm pricing. Northside Independent School District in San Antonio, Texas posted an RFQ for miscellaneous warehouse supplies (RFP2026094, due July 9, 2026) that may have included flag items but carries no detail on scope or contract value. A Georgia-based school cooperative (Cooperative Purchasing Agency, serving 35 school systems) issued an office supplies bid (Bid 2027-006, due September 29, 2026) whose scope — receipt books, envelopes, file folders, writing instruments — appears unrelated to flags and reflects tagging misalignment rather than active flag procurement under this code.
