Asphalt Paving Mixture and Block Manufacturing

NAICS 324121 - Asphalt Paving Mixture and Block Manufacturing encompasses the production and procurement of asphalt-related materials and services for infrastructure maintenance, road construction, and repair. This category includes hot mix asphalt, cold mix asphalt, emulsions, sealcoats, and related paving materials used primarily by federal, state, and local government agencies. Products range from standard asphalt mixes to specialized polymer-modified and gilsonite-based formulations designed for specific environmental and performance requirements.

Federal contract awards in this NAICS code consistently demonstrate a pattern of small business set-aside procurements, with contract values ranging from approximately $10,000 to $1.7 million. Typical funding agencies include the National Park Service, U.S. Air Force, Army Corps of Engineers, and Department of Agriculture. Frequently awarded entities include American Classic Construction Inc., Knife River Corporation, and specialized asphalt material providers. Performance locations are predominantly across military installations, national parks, and federal research facilities, with contract durations typically spanning three to twelve months. Most awards are firm fixed-price purchase orders or blanket purchase agreements supporting infrastructure maintenance, road repairs, and facility upgrade projects.

Recent federal contract opportunities focus on specific asphalt and aggregate material requirements for various government installations. Notable solicitations include the Naval Supply Systems Command's request for asphalt emulsion and hot mix asphalt for training purposes, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' tar and chip roadway application project, and the National Park Service's requirements for cold mix asphalt and surface treatment services. These opportunities predominantly target small businesses, cover diverse geographic locations including Alaska, Pennsylvania, and California, and emphasize technical specifications such as material composition, performance characteristics, and application methodologies.
