NIGP 74505: Asphalt, Aggregates

NIGP 74505 Asphalt, Aggregates is an Item code that encompasses state and local procurement of hot mix asphalt, cold mix asphalt, liquid asphalt products, aggregate base materials, recycled asphalt pavement, and crushed stone for roadway construction, maintenance, resurfacing, and chip seal applications. Recent solicitations show purchasing primarily from cities, counties, transit authorities, and special-purpose districts pursuing both ongoing blanket purchase agreements for as-needed supply and project-specific material procurements tied to street, highway, and infrastructure improvement initiatives. The scope reflects immediate operational needs: the City of Palo Alto's RFQ for hot mix asphalt and cutback material specified 3,200 tons annually across multiple grades on a three-year blanket purchase order with F.O.B. destination freight prepaid; Collin County's dual IFBs for liquid asphalt (11 product types, up to 8,000 gallons per type annually, estimated value $100,000) and asphaltic concrete (Type B through High Performance Cold Mix with and without recycled content, estimated value $3 million) both with 48-hour delivery requirements; and the City of Temple's ITB for hot mix asphalt named both primary and secondary vendors to manage supply continuity, estimating $150,000 annually. Orange County, Florida issued a $125.6 million, 60-month pavement rehabilitation contract (Y26-182) encompassing 25,000–275,000 square yards of SP 12.5 asphalt overlay and milling, reflecting large-scale infrastructure investment.

Issuing bodies span county highway departments (Kenosha County, Wisconsin; Collin County, Texas; Lowndes County, Mississippi; Cherokee County, Georgia), municipal public works and streets departments (Palo Alto, Temple, Greenville, Portland, Madison), regional transit and special districts (Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport Department of Aviation, Pinellas County School District, San Jacinto Community College District), state departments of transportation (Illinois IDOT, Georgia local-government LMIG programs), and county development authorities (Madison County Industrial Development Authority). Activity concentrates in Texas (Collin County, Lubbock, Hunt County, Temple, Greenville, Dallas), California (Palo Alto, Orange County, Santa Clara County, San Bernardino, Trinity County, Fairburn Georgia), Florida (Marion County, Orange County, Broward County, Sarasota County, Pinellas County), Georgia (Atlanta, Cherokee County, White County, Barrow County, Madison County), and the upper Midwest (Wisconsin, Massachusetts Berkshire Regional Group Purchasing Program), with scattered activity in Mississippi, Kentucky, and Oregon. Representative recent opportunities include Collin County's liquid asphalt IFB 2026-277 (bids due July 16, 2026) specifying 11 product types with 95 percent delivery and pricing adjustable annually per Producer Price Index; Orange County's pavement rehabilitation IFB Y26-182 (bids due May 21, 2026, $125.6 million estimated value) requiring unit pricing on milling, asphalt overlay, and friction course with 60-month pricing subject to Producer Price Index escalation capped at 4 percent annually; and Palo Alto's RFQ 197088 (due April 8, 2026, now closed) for primary and secondary hot mix asphalt suppliers with batch and drum plants located within 11 and 20 miles respectively and annual pricing escalation ladders. Most procurements require GDOT or state DOT specification compliance, F.O.B. destination or freight-prepaid pricing, quarterly or annual price redetermination tied to published asphalt cement or Producer Price indices, and performance bonds when contract value exceeds $25,000–$100,000 thresholds.
