Purchase Order 47QSSC26P0SYA

The General Services Administration's Federal Acquisition Service (GSA FAS) awarded a purchase order to Tapesouth Inc., a woman-owned Subchapter S Corporation based in Gainesville, Florida, for pressure-sensitive tape products. The contract, awarded on February 4, 2026, carries a ceiling value of $1,465.76 with an ultimate completion date of February 19, 2026. This firm fixed-price purchase order was issued without set-aside designation, demonstrating the contractor's ability to compete in the open market. The work will be performed in Gainesville, Florida, and represents a direct order against Tapesouth's existing $3 million Blanket Purchase Agreement with GSA FAS, which is effective through May 1, 2026.

Tapesouth Inc. is a specialized manufacturer and distributor of adhesive tape products serving federal civilian agencies. The company holds extensive experience providing pressure-sensitive adhesive tapes, electrical insulation tapes, packaging tapes, gummed tapes, and masking tapes that meet stringent technical specifications including ASTM standards and military requirements. The current purchase order exemplifies the responsive, just-in-time nature of GSA's tape supply operations, with the brief execution window reflecting the operational efficiency typical of GSA FAS orders against established Blanket Purchase Agreements. Since the BPA's establishment in May 2025, GSA FAS has issued numerous task orders and purchase orders ranging from approximately $100 to nearly $3,000, with this award representing recent activity demonstrating continued federal agency reliance on Tapesouth's specialized tape product capabilities.
