UNSPSC 31201517: Packaging tape

UNSPSC 31201517 Packaging tape is a Commodity code covering adhesive tape and related fastening products used across state and local operations. State and local governments procure packaging tape as part of broader office supply, instructional supply, and facilities-maintenance contracts, where tape appears alongside paper, binding materials, adhesives, and general consumables rather than as a standalone line item. School districts represent a primary customer base for this code, buying tape in bulk as part of regular purchasing cycles to support classroom operations, administrative functions, and warehouse activities. Issuing bodies include school districts and their purchasing departments, which often aggregate tape demand into larger office and instructional supply IFBs to simplify vendor management and achieve volume pricing.

Washington County School District issued IFB WCSDSG002 posted May 28, 2026 with bids due June 22, 2026, requesting instructional and paper supplies including adhesives and tape from its Warehouse Purchasing department. The solicitation anticipated multiple contract awards and specified pricing guarantees through January 18, 2027, with estimated quantities and manufacturer references (including 3M and Elmer's) embedded in detailed bid sheets. The geographic concentration of recent opportunities is limited to the source record provided; the Washington County School District solicitation represents the only recent activity in the dataset. Vendors pursuing this code should expect tape to be one line item within larger consumables contracts rather than sole-source opportunities, with school districts driving the volume of state and local procurement under this Commodity code.
