NIGP 83220: Tape, Cellulose: Drafting, Labeling, Magnetic, etc.

NIGP 83220 Tape, Cellulose: Drafting, Labeling, Magnetic, Etc., an Item code, covers adhesive and fastening tapes that state and local governments procure as component items within broader office and instructional supply contracts. Based on recent solicitations, state and local buyers are purchasing cellulose tape as part of comprehensive supply bundles rather than as standalone procurements — the tape appears alongside paper products, writing instruments, binding materials, and other classroom or office consumables. Washington County School District's IFB for mid-year instructional and paper supplies (WCSDSG002, due June 22, 2026) includes tape among adhesives and fastening materials needed for K–12 instruction, with estimated usage volumes driven by school-district operations across multiple buildings. Cook County Government's IFB for paper products (2602-01236, due March 18, 2026) does not isolate tape but procurement officers sourcing consumables for courthouses, detention facilities, and administrative buildings across 17 delivery locations routinely consolidate tape into paper-products and janitorial-supply purchases. The issuing bodies are school districts and county government procurement offices managing distributed delivery requirements.

Geographic activity centers in the upper Midwest and Pacific Northwest, with recent postings from Washington County (Washington state) and Cook County (Illinois). Sourcewell, a Minnesota-based cooperative purchasing vehicle, issued an RFP for law enforcement equipment (061626, due June 16, 2026) that may include equipment-grade tape or fasteners as ancillary components across Franklin, Grant, Grays Harbor, Chelan, and Yakima counties in Washington and participating jurisdictions nationwide. The code sees limited standalone procurement volume; tape and cellulose fastening materials typically compete for line-item placement within consolidated supply contracts rather than generating independent bid opportunities, signaling that vendors should position tape as part of broader office-supply or janitorial-supply strategies when pursuing state and local education and county government accounts.
