The U.S. General Services Administration's Federal Acquisition Service awarded a purchase order to Tapesouth Inc., a woman-owned Gainesville, Florida-based tape manufacturer and distributor, for pressure-sensitive adhesive tape on a firm fixed-price basis. The contract, awarded March 18, 2026, has a ceiling value of $1,564.80 and calls for delivery of white pressure-sensitive adhesive tape in rolls with 1.000-inch width, 72-yard length, 3.000-inch core diameter, and 0.003-inch thickness. The place of performance is Gainesville, Florida, with an ultimate completion date of April 2, 2026. No set-aside designation was used for this award, allowing the contractor to compete in the open market.

This purchase order is issued under Tapesouth Inc.'s existing single-award Blanket Purchase Agreement with the Federal Acquisition Service, valued at three million dollars and effective through May 1, 2026. The BPA covers a comprehensive range of tape products including pressure-sensitive adhesive tapes, electrical insulation tapes, packaging tapes, gummed tapes, and masking tapes meeting various ASTM and military standards. As a Federal Contract Vehicle designated for direct delivery to both military and civilian customers, the BPA reflects Tapesouth's established capability to provide specialized tape solutions meeting stringent technical specifications across diverse federal applications. The short performance timeline and modest order value are typical of the responsive, just-in-time nature of federal tape supply operations supported through this vehicle.
