NIGP 83236: Tape, Insulating, All Types (Except Electrical)

NIGP 83236 Tape, Insulating, All Types (Except Electrical) is an Item code under which state and local governments procure adhesive and insulating tapes for HVAC, plumbing, mechanical, and general facility maintenance — though recent solicitation activity shows this code surfaces most often as a line item within broader electrical supplies and equipment contracts rather than as a standalone commodity. State and local issuing bodies buying under this code include school districts, counties, municipalities, and special-purpose authorities. Northside Independent School District in San Antonio posted IFB2026098 on June 8, 2026, for electrical equipment, parts, supplies, rentals, repairs, and services with bids due July 1, 2026, bundling insulating tape with a range of electrical components. The County of Bergen, New Jersey, established a cooperative purchasing agreement through the New Jersey Cooperative Purchasing Alliance (NJCPA) for electrical supplies and equipment (BCBID2628), posted April 21, 2026, with sealed bids due May 7, 2026, at 12:00 pm prevailing time through the Bonfire E-Procurement platform, structured as a 24-month term with two optional 12-month renewals commencing June 1, 2026, and open to MBE, WBE, VBE, and SBE vendors meeting New Jersey ownership and principal-place-of-business requirements.

Recent procurement activity concentrates in Texas, New Jersey, and Arizona. The City of Phoenix Public Works Department issued IFB26FMD012 on March 24, 2026, for electrical parts and supplies on an as-needed basis with offers due July 9, 2025, structured for a three-year term beginning October 1, 2025, with two potential one-year extensions, requiring vendors to be local stocking distributors capable of 48-hour delivery and walk-in purchases within a 25-mile radius of central Phoenix. The Georgia World Congress Center Authority in Atlanta posted an RFP (PE92200RFP2026000000078) on March 20, 2026, for an Electrical Systems Replacement Master Plan with proposals due April 22, 2026, at 10:00 a.m., encompassing comprehensive master planning for replacing aging electrical systems across a 3.9-million-square-foot convention center with Advanced Schematic Design deliverables and Phase 1 construction documentation; this procurement sits outside the direct-supply commodity scope but demonstrates institutional maintenance spending in which insulating tape specifications appear. Insulating tape does not appear as a standalone solicitation in recent postings; vendors pursuing this code typically bid as part of electrical equipment catalogs or master supply agreements with fixed percentage discounts from manufacturer lists.
