NIGP 83204: Tape, Athletic

NIGP 83204 Tape, Athletic is an Item code under which state and local governments procure athletic tape and related supplies for school district athletic programs, training facilities, and sports medicine services. The scope encompasses tape products used in injury prevention, athletic training, and event support across multiple sports disciplines. School districts represent the primary issuing bodies under this code, soliciting tape as part of broader athletic equipment and supplies contracts that bundle tape with uniforms, equipment, and related goods for comprehensive athletic program support.

School districts in Texas dominate recent activity under this code. Birdville Independent School District (BISD) in North Richland Hills issued a Request for Competitive Sealed Proposals (RFCSP 002-27) on July 1, 2026, for Athletic Equipment, Supplies and Related Services with a response deadline of July 1, 2026, at 2:00 PM (CT); the estimated annual contract value is $867,443.31, covering 15 sports programs across 31 campuses, with a contract term running September 1, 2026, through August 31, 2031, including a possible 90-day transitional period. Harlingen Consolidated Independent School District in Texas issued a Request for Proposals with a May 4, 2026, deadline at 2:00 PM for three separate athletic supply categories: Athletic Baseball, Softball and Physical Education Supplies & Equipment (#ABSS0526), Athletic Cross Country, Soccer, Track and Physical Education Supplies & Equipment (#ACST0526), and Athletic Strength & Conditioning, Powerlifting and Physical Education Supplies & Equipment (#ASCP0526). Both districts' procurements emphasize compliance with historically underutilized business (HUB) requirements as an evaluation factor. Tape is typically bundled within these broader athletic supplies contracts rather than solicited as a standalone line item.
