MICC-FSH is conducting market research to identify potential sources for U.S. Flags and Presentation Boxes for the Army Retiring Soldier Commendation Program (ARSCP). The government seeks vendors capable of procuring, assembling, and distributing triangular-folded 3' x 5' nylon/poly-nylon U.S. flags with sewn stars, and full-color presentation boxes with specific designs. Vendors must also assemble the flag and box insert, ship packages quarterly to 59 Army installations and other addresses, develop a tracking system, and provide quarterly delivery reports. The U.S. Flag component must be 100% "Made in the USA" and Berry Amendment compliant. The anticipated NAICS code is 314999 (All Other Miscellaneous Textile Product Mills), with a small business size standard of 500 employees. Interested businesses should submit a capabilities statement by December 15, 2025, detailing their ability to meet product, service, and qualification requirements, including Berry Amendment compliance, and provide past performance examples.

The Mission and Installation Contracting Command – Fort Sam Houston (MICC-FSH) has issued a Sources Sought Synopsis for market research on U.S. Flags and Presentation Boxes. This is not a Request for Proposal but aims to identify potential sources for the Army Retiring Soldier Commendation Program (ARSCP). The requirement is for 3’ x 5’ nylon U.S. flags with sewn stars and presentation boxes (approx. 10” X 12”) with an insert for a pin. Vendors must assemble these items, ship them quarterly to 59 Army installations and other addresses, and provide a tracking system and quarterly delivery reports. A mandatory requirement is that the U.S. Flag component must be 100% “Made in the USA” and Berry Amendment compliant. The anticipated NAICS code is 314999 (All Other Miscellaneous Textile Product Mills) and PSC is 8345 (Flags and Pennants). Interested businesses should submit a capabilities statement by December 15, 2025, to annalyssa.o.navarro-schwener.civ@army.mil and jacquelyn.k.morgan.civ@army.mil, including organization information, UEI, CAGE Code, socioeconomic status, a tailored capability statement demonstrating their ability to meet all requirements, documentation supporting Berry Amendment compliance for the flag, and up to three relevant past performance examples.

The document addresses inquiries regarding a Sources Sought notice for Army Retirement kits, clarifying that the requirement is separate and distinct from the Army Retiring Soldiers Kit w/Cotton Flag, NSN 9915-00-NSH-0002, and not intended for procurement through SourceAmerica’s NPA. The government emphasizes that the purpose of the Sources Sought notice is to conduct market research to inform the acquisition strategy, with the procurement method to be determined based on the research results and applicable federal regulations. All interested parties capable of meeting the specified requirements are encouraged to respond. The decision to issue a solicitation will depend on the responses received, and parties should monitor SAM.gov for updates. The notice closes on December 15, 2025.
