Purchase Order 47QSSC26P0LS2

The General Services Administration's Federal Acquisition Service awarded a $1,058.50 purchase order to Tapesouth Inc., a woman-owned adhesive tape manufacturer based in Gainesville, Florida, on January 19, 2026. The contract calls for the delivery of pressure-sensitive adhesive tape in black and clear colors, measuring 1,296 inches by 2 inches, with moisture and oil-resistant properties (3M model 481). The firm fixed-price contract is structured as a purchase order with an ultimate completion date of February 3, 2026, and carries no set-aside designation, indicating the award resulted from open market competition. Performance will be executed in Gainesville, Florida.

This award was issued under Tapesouth Inc.'s existing $3 million Blanket Purchase Agreement with the Federal Acquisition Service, effective through May 1, 2026. The BPA, categorized as "Other Than Schedule" under the Multiple Award Schedule program, authorizes the company to serve both civilian federal agencies and military customers through direct delivery mechanisms. Tapesouth has established itself as a specialized supplier of adhesive tape products to federal agencies since its SAM registration in May 2001, offering a comprehensive product portfolio including pressure-sensitive, electrical insulation, packaging, gummed, and masking tapes that meet ASTM and military standards. The relatively short 15-day delivery window from award to completion reflects the responsive, just-in-time operational model typical of federal tape supply operations.
