NIGP 83230: Tape, Freezer/Freeze Protection

NIGP 83230 Tape, Freezer/Freeze Protection is an Item code covering adhesive tapes and wrapping materials designed to protect pipes, equipment, and infrastructure from freezing damage in cold-weather environments. State and local governments procure these products for facility maintenance, public works, and utility operations — particularly in northern regions where winter weather protection is a recurring operational need. The code captures both the tape itself and associated freeze-protection wrapping systems used by facilities departments, water utilities, and municipal maintenance crews to prevent pipe rupture, equipment failure, and service interruptions during freeze events.

The source provides no recent state and local contract opportunities posted under this code as of the current date. Without posted solicitations to characterize issuing-body mix, geographic concentration, or representative procurement activity, the market signal here is limited to the code's existence within the NIGP taxonomy. Firms tracking this code should monitor it for seasonal uptick in procurement activity, particularly in late fall and early winter when municipalities and utilities conduct preventive maintenance and stock freeze-protection materials ahead of cold weather.
