Purchase Order 47QSSC26P0NLB

The General Services Administration's Federal Acquisition Service awarded a $2,563.00 purchase order to Tapesouth Inc., a woman-owned Gainesville, Florida-based tape manufacturer and distributor, on January 23, 2026, with an ultimate completion date of February 7, 2026. The contract calls for the delivery of pressure-sensitive adhesive tape manufactured from polyvinyl chloride in white, opaque finish per 3M specification P/N-838, measuring 2,592 feet in length by 1 inch in width with single-sided adhesive. The tape is engineered to withstand temperature extremes ranging from -65 degrees Fahrenheit to 300 degrees Fahrenheit and features heat and weather-resistant properties suitable for demanding federal applications. This purchase order was awarded without set-aside designation, allowing Tapesouth to compete in the open market based on its established capabilities and pricing.

This award represents a task order issued under Tapesouth Inc.'s existing single-award Blanket Purchase Agreement with the Federal Acquisition Service valued at $3 million and effective through May 1, 2026. The BPA authorizes direct delivery of specialized tape products to both civilian federal agencies and military end-users, encompassing pressure-sensitive adhesive tapes, electrical insulation tapes, packaging tapes, gummed tapes, and masking tapes meeting ASTM standards and military requirements. Tapesouth's consistent pattern of awards since the BPA's establishment in May 2025 demonstrates active federal utilization of the agreement, with recent orders reflecting the government's ongoing need for specialized tape solutions across diverse applications including thermal insulation, equipment sealing, and paint masking operations.
