U.s. Flag & Signal Company

U.S. Flag & Signal Company, doing business as US Flag & Signal Co Inc., manufactures and supplies flags, guidons, pennants, flagpoles, and related ceremonial accessories to the Department of Defense and other federal agencies as a woman-owned small business prime contractor operating exclusively on full-and-open, non-set-aside awards. The Portsmouth, Virginia-based manufacturer holds a structural classification as a for-profit organization and business-types listing under woman-owned small business and manufacturer-of-goods categories, competing without set-aside protections across its federal footprint.

U.S. Flag & Signal Company's customer base centers almost entirely on the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Troop Support Clothing and Textiles division, which accounts for 1,280 of the company's 1,459 total prime awards (88% of award count) and $4.5 million of the $6.1 million combined potential value across all recent work. The concentration is pronounced: DLA Troop Support dominates both volume and dollars by an order of magnitude relative to secondary customers such as the United States Marine Corps (42 awards, $325 thousand combined potential value), the Department of the Navy (19 awards across multiple components), the Department of the Army Headquarters and Training and Doctrine Command (combined 7 awards, $196 thousand), and the GSA Federal Acquisition Service (2 awards, $625 thousand potential value). Nearly all awards are firm fixed-price purchase orders in the $180 to $1,600 range for individual guidons and flags, with occasional larger procurements such as a $161.5 million flagstock award and a $32.1 million individual flags order, both on small-business set-aside designations.

The company holds a General Services Administration Federal Supply Schedule contract (MAS) with a $499,999 ceiling, effective through September 1, 2026, under SIN 339999F covering flags, banners, guidons, pennants, flagpoles, and related accessories. The MAS vehicle has generated four task orders at $90 thousand combined potential value. U.S. Flag & Signal Company also participates in multiple indefinite delivery contracts issued by DLA, including SP010006ASP04 (28 task orders), SP010005ASP04 (16 task orders), and SPM1C112D5010 (5 task orders, $20 thousand combined potential value), as well as a Federal Supply Schedule contract (GS03F0152W) with 5 task orders at $29 thousand combined potential value.

Activity has remained steady but begun declining — 88 awards in 2022, 75 in 2023, 85 in 2024, 67 in 2025, and 56 in the first quarter of 2026. Combined dollars obligated across all awards ($8.8 million) exceed the combined potential value ($6.1 million) by 143 percent, indicating that the vendor's historical invoiced volumes have run ahead of stated ceiling values, a pattern consistent with the vendor's established DLA supply relationship. Only one award faces ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months ($10 thousand combined potential value), reducing near-term recompete exposure. U.S. Flag & Signal Company performs all work at its Portsmouth, Virginia manufacturing facility with no subcontractor engagement; the source indicates the vendor has maintained a substantial federal contracting relationship with DLA since its federal registration in 2002. Primary NAICS concentration falls under All Other Miscellaneous Textile Product Mills (1,310 awards), with secondary classifications in blood and organ banks and optical instrument manufacturing reflecting data taxonomy artifacts rather than actual business lines. Procurement classification is overwhelmingly Flags and Pennants (1,432 awards).
