NIGP 83223: Tape, Detectable Marking

NIGP 83223 Tape, Detectable Marking is an Item code that encompasses reflective, color-coded, and detectable adhesive tapes used in traffic control, utility marking, and hazard identification by state and local governments. State and local procurement under this code reflects actual sourcing of materials for temporary traffic control applications, utility work site safety, and infrastructure maintenance — notably detectable tapes that meet Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD) standards and Arizona Department of Transportation compliance requirements for road closure and event management. The City of Yuma, Arizona, and similar municipal procurement offices issue solicitations for traffic control services where detectable marking tape appears as a line-item material or consumable component within broader traffic management contracts.

The geographic activity under this code centers on Arizona, where the City of Yuma issued RFB-26-216 on March 27, 2026, for comprehensive traffic control services supporting thirteen recurring community events and ad hoc road closures (due April 16, 2026). That RFB required contractors to supply MUTCD-compliant signage, barricades, and channelizing devices — categories that typically encompass or bundle detectable marking tape as a supporting material. The City structure allows award to one or two vendors with firm, fixed pricing for an initial one-year term plus four optional one-year renewals. No incumbent vendor is identified, and the procurement contains no set-aside restrictions, allowing any qualified contractor meeting minimum three-year experience and state licensure requirements to respond. Activity under this code appears limited in recent postings; the Yuma solicitation represents the primary visible state or local opportunity in the current record.
