UNSPSC 31201500: Tape

UNSPSC 31201500 Tape is a Class code under which state and local governments procure adhesive tapes and tape products for educational, office, and operational use. Recent solicitation activity shows school districts buying tape as part of broader instructional and office-supply bundles rather than as a standalone commodity, with tape typically bundled alongside paper products, writing instruments, binding materials, and adhesives in consolidated school-supply contracts. The issuing bodies under this code include school districts conducting periodic multi-award procurement for consumable supplies to support classroom and administrative operations.

Washington County School District posted IFB WCSDSG002 on May 28, 2026, requesting bids for instructional and paper supplies with a due date of June 22, 2026, with multiple contract awards anticipated based on cost, minimum order amounts, and freight considerations. The solicitation encompasses adhesives and tape alongside copy paper (estimated at 6,166 cases), writing instruments, binding materials, index cards, and athletic equipment, with the contract term running from June 22, 2026 through January 18, 2027 and pricing guaranteed throughout the seven-month period. The scope reflects the typical pattern for this code: tape and adhesive products are procured as line items within broader school-supply contracts rather than as isolated requests, with vendors expected to supply both branded products (3M tape products referenced in the bid sheet) and institutional volumes.
