NIGP 83263: Tape, Polypropylene

NIGP 83263 Tape, Polypropylene is an Item code under which state and local governments procure pressure-sensitive polypropylene adhesive tape for general-purpose packaging, sealing, and bundling applications. The code covers commodity-grade tape stock typically used in warehousing, shipping, records management, and facilities operations across all issuing-body types — state departments, counties, municipalities, school districts, and transit authorities commonly purchase polypropylene tape as a consumable supply item. Demand is steady and fragmented across dozens of small and mid-sized solicitations rather than concentrated in a few large awards; procurement is routine and competitive, with specifications typically emphasizing width, length, adhesive strength, and roll count.

The source provided contains no records of recent state and local contract opportunities under this Item code. Polypropylene tape procurement, while consistent across jurisdictions, does not generate visible RFP, RFQ, IFB, or ITB activity in the available opportunities database — most purchasing likely occurs through standing supply agreements, cooperative purchasing vehicles such as state or county blanket orders, or low-dollar purchasing cards that do not post formal solicitation notices. Firms pursuing this code should monitor cooperative purchasing catalogs and state-level supply schedules rather than watch for posted RFPs.
