NIGP 83232: Tape, Gummed Kraft and Reinforced Paper

NIGP 83232 Tape, Gummed Kraft And Reinforced Paper, an Item code, covers pressure-sensitive and gummed tape products that state and local governments procure for office, warehouse, and educational operations. Based on recent solicitations, school districts are the primary buyers under this code, purchasing tape as part of broader instructional and office-supply bundles rather than as standalone line items. The tape category sits within larger procurement vehicles that consolidate adhesives, binding materials, and general supplies to simplify vendor management and reduce administrative overhead across multiple departments and school buildings.

Washington County School District posted IFB WCSDSG002 on May 28, 2026, with bids due June 22, 2026, soliciting a comprehensive range of instructional and paper supplies including tape, adhesives, writing instruments, paper stock, binding materials, and classroom tools. The seven-month contract runs through January 18, 2027, with vendors required to guarantee pricing for the entire term. Multiple contract awards are anticipated, with the number of awards determined by cost analysis, minimum order thresholds, or freight considerations. The bid sheet references specific product numbers from manufacturers including 3M, Elmer's, and others, indicating that school districts often specify branded tape products rather than accept generic equivalents. This represents the only recent opportunity in the source for gummed kraft and reinforced tape procurement at the state and local level.
