UNSPSC 31201503: Masking tape

UNSPSC 31201503 Masking tape is a Commodity code covering adhesive tape products sourced by state and local school districts and municipalities for facilities maintenance, construction, and instructional supply use. State and local agencies procure masking tape as part of broader facilities and educational supply contracts, sometimes as a discrete line item and sometimes bundled within comprehensive stationery and adhesive-product purchases. School districts are the dominant buyer type under this code, soliciting tape alongside paper, binding materials, writing instruments, and classroom tools through consolidated instructional-supply IFBs. Cities and other municipalities also procure masking tape for facilities, maintenance, and operations needs, often through micro-purchase or competitive-quote processes.

Washington County School District (Washington state) issued IFB 1-26060-2701 on May 28, 2026 for mid-year instructional and paper supplies with a due date of June 22, 2026, bundling masking tape and other adhesive products with crayons, copy paper, folders, notebooks, and athletic equipment across a seven-month contract term. The City of Philadelphia posted a micro purchase for Black Anti Slip Tape (solicitation B2626868) on April 13, 2026 with a response deadline of April 15, 2026, soliciting quotes through competitive bidding on the PHLContracts eProcurement platform. Recent activity appears concentrated in the Pacific Northwest and Mid-Atlantic regions, with school district procurement driving the volume of opportunities under the code.
