Real-world usage of TMP|TMPTARP
Appears in 17 of 358 scopes ESXPress has analysed and in 23 of 550 converted customer scopes. Usage is measured from real claim documents, never estimated. How this is measured.
How it's written in real claims
From 18 line items across 17 scopes processed through ESXPress — the exact operation text and unit of measure adjusters actually write:
- “Tarp - all-purpose poly - per sq ft (labor and material)”17 lines
- “Tarp - all-purpose poly - (labor and material)”1 line
Dominant unit of measure: SF — used in 89% of samples.

What it is
TMP|TMPTARP is a Temporary Services (TMP) Xactimate SEL code used for this work, measured in square feet (SF).
ESXPress’s reference documents TMP|TMPTARP. Across processed claim scopes, ESXPress observed 18 line items written against this code — 16 of them (88.9%) measured in SF, and 2 line items in UN. The line appears in 17 of the 358 scopes analysed (about 4.7%) and in 2 of the 61 converted customer scopes.
When to use it
Use TMP|TMPTARP when the scope calls for this code — Temporary Services work measured in square feet (SF). The real-world act texts track the reference wording: 17 of the 18 observed line items (94.4%) were written with this code.
The co-occurrence data below comes from processed scopes; the strongest pairing is with Sheathing (FRM|FRMSH1/2) — the same scopes, 6 times, lift 10.49.
How to use it
Measure the work in SF: 16 of the 18 observed line items (88.9%) used SF and 2 in UN. The unitAsUsed analysis puts SF at a 88.9% share, making it the safe unit for conversion.
This code accounts for 17 of the 18 sampled lines (94.4%). Estimators also write “Tarp - all-purpose poly - (labor and material)” (1 line).
Often used together
Two kinds of related codes are listed below. First, codes that appear in the same scopes as TMP|TMPTARP — co-occurrence measured across the claim scopes processed through ESXPress with support of at least 3 scopes and lift of at least 1.5. Second, other frequently used Temporary Services (TMP) category codes, ranked by how often they appear in the analysed scopes. Descriptions are from the ESXPress code reference.
Real-world examples
Each example is an anonymised line from a processed claim scope: the exact operation text and unit of measure adjusters wrote, with the observed line-item count. The count is line frequency across the analysed samples — never a price and never a quantity from a specific claim.
- In a real claim, this line appeared as: “Tarp - all-purpose poly - (labor and material)”, SF, qty 1.
