The General Services Administration (GSA) Federal Acquisition Service awarded a purchase order to Tapesouth Inc., a woman-owned Subchapter S Corporation based in Gainesville, Florida, for the supply of 3M-481 pressure-sensitive adhesive tape with a firm fixed price ceiling value of $2,117.00. The tape specification calls for a plastic overall construction in black and clear colors, sized at 1,296 inches by 2.000 inches, with environmental protection features including moisture and oil resistance. The contract is not subject to any set-aside designation, reflecting Tapesouth's competitive standing in the open market. Performance is scheduled for the Gainesville, Florida location, with an ultimate completion date of March 14, 2026.

This purchase order is executed under Tapesouth Inc.'s existing three-million-dollar Blanket Purchase Agreement with GSA's Federal Acquisition Service, which became effective May 2, 2025 and remains active through May 1, 2026. The BPA, categorized as "Other Than Schedule" under the Multiple Award Schedule program, authorizes Tapesouth to deliver adhesive tape products directly to both federal civilian agencies and military end-users. Since establishment of the BPA, GSA has issued numerous task orders and purchase orders reflecting active utilization, with individual orders ranging from approximately one hundred dollars to nearly three thousand dollars. The present award exemplifies the responsive, just-in-time procurement model characteristic of federal tape supply operations, with completion expected within weeks of the February 27, 2026 award date.
