Color Guard

Solicitation W911S226U4356 is a firm-fixed-price, total small business set-aside contract issued by the US Army Cadet Command for the procurement of Color Guard equipment for new programs within the 8th Brigade JROTC footprint. The scope of work includes the delivery of United States and various state flags, 8-foot chrome guidon staffs, chrome flag stands, black canvas flag cases, and honor guard flag carriers in both black Clarino and white top-grain cowhide leather. All equipment must strictly adhere to the provided salient characteristics and designs. The period of performance is 150 days from the date of final contract award. The contract mandates rigorous shipping and delivery protocols. Deliveries must be made by hand and signed for by JROTC personnel, with a strict prohibition on partial shipments per location and the grouping of multiple schools under a single tracking number. The contractor is solely responsible for offloading equipment, as the government will not provide forklifts or pallet jacks. Specific blackout dates are established, including June 1 through September 1, 2026, and December 15, 2026, through January 10, 2027, with no deliveries permitted on weekends, federal holidays, or after 2 p.m. local time. Administrative requirements include providing detailed packing slips in every box, submitting tracking information to designated points of contact, and utilizing the Wide Area Work Flow system for invoicing after the Primary Hand Receipt Holder signs the DD Form 250.
