NGB Seals

This government purchase description outlines the requirements for a contractor to manufacture and deliver 541 National Guard Bureau (NGB) presentation seal plaques. Designed for official presentation to distinguished recipients, each circular wood or wood-based plaque must measure 14 inches in diameter and 3/4 inch thick, featuring a recessed keyhole hanger for flush wall mounting. The face of the plaques must accurately reproduce the NGB seal using Government-provided artwork. Specific Pantone color references are designated (Blue 289 C, Gold/Yellow 136 C, and Orange/Brown 718 C), and no manufacturer markings are permitted on the visible face. The contractor must submit one production-representative preproduction sample within 15 calendar days of contract award. Full production cannot begin until the Government provides written approval, which is expected within 5 business days of receipt. Following approval, delivery will occur in three phased increments: the first 200 plaques are due within 60 calendar days, an additional 200 plaques within 30 days after the first delivery, and the final 141 plaques within 30 days after the second delivery. Shipping is FOB Destination, and the contractor is responsible for all transportation costs. The digital artwork provided remains government property and must be safeguarded. The contract utilizes a two-CLIN structure covering the NGB seals and the required tooling/die.

The National Guard Bureau’s Operational Contracting Division (NGB-AQ-C) has issued a Sources Sought Notice to conduct market research and identify capable sources for the manufacture and delivery of NGB Seals. This notice is for planning purposes only and does not constitute a formal solicitation. The government intends to procure these products on a competitive basis, specifically seeking to determine if there are sufficient qualified small businesses to support a set-aside or if multiple awards are appropriate. The anticipated contract type is Firm-Fixed Price, with a base period of performance beginning in September 2026 and an expected award date of September 30, 2026. The government is currently considering NAICS code 339999 (All Other Miscellaneous Manufacturing) with a size standard of 500 employees or fewer, though respondents may suggest alternatives. Interested contractors possessing the necessary manufacturing and management capabilities are invited to submit an executive summary of no more than 10 pages. Submissions must include company contact details, SBA program status, UEI and CAGE numbers, applicable GWAC contract vehicles, subcontracting structures, a manufacturing capability statement, and any feedback or questions. Responses must be submitted via email to the designated points of contact by 12:00 PM EST on September 21, 2026.
