NIGP 83226: Tape, Electrical

NIGP 83226 Tape, Electrical is an Item code under which state and local governments procure electrical tape and related adhesive tape products for building maintenance, infrastructure repairs, and facility operations. Recent solicitations show purchasing bodies buying electrical tape as part of broader electrical supplies and equipment catalogs rather than as standalone commodity bids, with tape appearing alongside wire, conduit, boxes, lighting fixtures, and other electrical components. Issuing bodies include county purchasing cooperatives (Bergen County, New Jersey; Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative in Texas), independent school districts (Northside Independent School District in San Antonio; Donna ISD in Texas), municipalities (Town of Berlin, Connecticut; City of Phoenix), and special-purpose authorities (Georgia World Congress Center Authority). Many of these jurisdictions award multiple vendors through catalog discount bid processes to ensure product diversity and competitive pricing across electrical supply categories.

Recent opportunities span Texas, Connecticut, Arizona, New Jersey, and Georgia. Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative issued an Invitation for Catalog Discount Bid (ELEC2628) posted June 22, 2026, with a due date of May 28, 2026, seeking electrical supplies with estimated expenditures of $4,854,470 over a two-year award period. The County of Bergen, New Jersey established a cooperative purchasing agreement for Electrical Supplies & Equipment (Contract BC-Bid-26-28) through the New Jersey Cooperative Purchasing Alliance, with sealed bids due May 7, 2026, requiring multiple vendor awards and encouraging MBE, WBE, VBE, and SBE participation. Northside Independent School District in San Antonio issued an IFB (IFB2026098) for Electrical Equipment, Parts, Supplies, Rentals, Repairs & Services with bids due July 1, 2026, replacing an expiring contract and requiring all vendors to respond. The City of Phoenix Public Works Department solicited electrical parts and supplies (IFB 26-FMD-012) for a three-year term with two potential one-year extensions, requiring local stocking distributors with 48-hour delivery capability and preferencing vendors within 25 miles of central Phoenix.
