Flagpoles, Incorporated

Flagpoles, Incorporated, doing business as Flagpoles Inc., is a small business manufacturer of aluminum light standards, flagpoles, and specialized military equipment and accessories that operates as a prime contractor exclusively to the Defense Logistics Agency and related Department of Defense components, competing predominantly under total small business set-asides. The vendor is a for-profit corporation headquartered in Setauket-East Setauket, New York, and has held federal contractor registration since May 2001.

Flagpoles, Incorporated's capability portfolio centers on fabricated metal components and protective equipment for defense logistics. The vendor manufactures protective poles, support poles, pole protectors, antenna support sleeves, parachute packing tables, leveling support jacks, tent poles, frame assemblies, cable header assemblies, wire reels, adapter housings, aiming posts, field folding tables, towbars for military aircraft, and related specialized hardware. Representative recent work includes a $238,768 firm fixed-price purchase order from the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service on August 6, 2025, for tube and corner bracket extrusions used in emergency tower screen trays supporting the Screwworm defense program; a $249,624.60 total small business set-aside purchase order from DLA Troop Support Clothing and Textiles on May 1, 2025, for frame assemblies designated as LME components with delivery due January 2, 2026; and a $159,308.80 total small business set-aside purchase order from DLA Land and Maritime on March 6, 2025, for 1,120 units of aiming posts (NSN 1290005357617) under precision turned product manufacturing with delivery required by May 14, 2026.

Customer concentration is extreme and single-agency dependent. The Defense Logistics Agency accounts for 157 awards representing $25.1 million combined potential value, or approximately 47% of the vendor's total portfolio dollar value and 77% of award count. Within DLA, three sub-components dominate: DLA Troop Support Clothing and Textiles (104 awards, $13.3 million), DLA Land and Maritime (113 awards, $4.8 million), and DLA Aviation (112 awards, $2.3 million). The top five customer components (all DLA sub-organizations) account for 562 awards covering 77% of all awards in the source. A single non-DLA award appears: a $238,768 purchase order from USDA APHIS in August 2025. This concentration means Flagpoles, Incorporated's business is entirely dependent on DLA recompete cycles and budget continuity.

The vendor holds three active indefinite delivery contracts with DLA Aviation, all designated as total small business set-asides: a $350,000 IDC awarded December 17, 2025, extending through December 16, 2030; a $250,000 IDC awarded June 23, 2025, extending through June 22, 2030 (four delivery orders issued totaling approximately $13,861.38 as of December 2025); and a $250,000 IDC awarded April 24, 2025, extending through April 23, 2030 (one delivery order issued on July 24, 2025, for $2,617.50). Beyond these IDCs, the vendor places task orders against five additional DLA-originated indefinite delivery vehicles: SPE4A615D5266 (49 task orders, $109 thousand), SPE7M515D5009 (14 task orders, $150 thousand), SP010003D6000 (12 task orders, $20.3 million), SPE4A620D5430 (12 task orders, $38 thousand), and SPE7MX18D0065 (12 task orders, $61 thousand).

Activity has grown modestly year over year: 15 awards in 2022, 13 in 2023, 13 in 2024, 26 in 2025, and 7 in early 2026 (source dated July 15, 2026). Combined potential value across 729 prime awards stands at $53.8 million, with combined obligated dollars at $56.5 million, indicating invoiced revenue exceeding the potential-value ceiling. Only 2 awards face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months with a combined potential value of $73 thousand, representing minimal recompete exposure in the near term. The vendor operates exclusively as a prime contractor with no sub-award presence in the source data. NAICS concentration reflects fabrication and textiles: All Other Miscellaneous Fabricated Metal Product Manufacturing (161 awards), Radio and Television Broadcasting and Wireless Communications Equipment Manufacturing (82 awards), and Textile Bag and Canvas Mills (56 awards). PSC concentration is even sharper—Tents and Tarpaulins (278 awards), Antennas, Waveguides, and Related Equipment (109 awards), and Fittings for Rope, Cable, and Chain (101 awards)—underscoring the vendor's role as a component supplier rather than a systems integrator.
