State and Territory Flags

Summary (Newest Update)

Background The 3rd U.S. Infantry Regiment, known as 'The Old Guard,' is the oldest active-duty infantry unit in the Army, established in 1784. It conducts memorial affairs operations supporting all Joint Services at Arlington National Cemetery to honor fallen service members and their families. The Old Guard serves as the Army's official ceremonial unit and escort to the president, providing security for Washington, D.C., during national emergencies or civil disturbances. The Joint Base Myer-Henderson Hall (JBM-HH) Flag Shop aims to procure a complete set of State and Territory flags to support ceremonial missions performed by TOG military personnel. Work Details The contract requires the delivery of one complete set of U.S. State and Territory flags (50 states and 6 territories) along with 56 guidon staffs for The Old Guard. The specifications include: - Flags: 4x6 ft, pole hem with yellow fringe, double-sided with liner, made from poly-knit nylon. - Guidons: 9 ft 6 inches, consisting of two pieces with a pole chrome joint and spear kit that includes a finial on top and a spear on the bottom. - Territories included are Washington DC, Puerto Rico, US Virgin Islands, Guam, American Samoa, and Northern Mariana Islands. Period of Performance Delivery of flags and staves must be completed on or before September 1, 2026. Place of Performance Central Issuing Facility, Attn: 1LT Chase David, 101 Bloxon St, Bldg. 205, Fort Myer, VA 22211-1199. Bidder Requirements The contractor must provide a sample at no cost to ensure compliance with government specifications listed in the Statement of Work (SOW). The contractor is required to give a 24-hour notice prior to deliveries. Access to Joint Base Myer-Henderson Hall requires coordination with the Point of Contact (POC) and adherence to all base policies. Incumbent Analysis (see Incumbents section for more detail) The opportunity appears to have a confirmed incumbent based on prior award W91QV125P0029, awarded to National Capital Flag Company for “FLAGS AND GUIDON STAFFS” valued at $32,374 (12/23/24–01/16/25). The current requirement for a complete set of U.S. State and Territory flags along with guidon staffs/staves for The Old Guard is consistent with the earlier procurement scope and deliverables, suggesting the work is a continuation of supplying ceremonial flags and associated staffs to support TOG missions.
