NIGP 74507: Asphalt, Cutback (With Latex/Polymer)

NIGP 74507 Asphalt, Cutback (With Latex/Polymer), an Item code, encompasses hot and cold mix asphalt materials—including tack coats, polymer-modified pavements, and bagged or bulk cutback formulations—that state and local governments procure for roadway maintenance, rehabilitation, and new paving projects. State transportation departments, counties, cities, and special districts solicit these materials on blanket purchase orders and project-specific contracts, often with multiple award structures and material-adjustment provisions tied to petroleum price indices. Recent activity concentrates in Mississippi, California, Georgia, and Wisconsin, with the Mississippi Department of Transportation emerging as a repeat, high-volume buyer issuing two separate sealed-bid RFxs in October 2026 for hot and cold mix asphalt supply covering January through June 2027 and a full calendar year respectively, each with unit pricing per ton or per gallon and delivery priced per ton per mile.

State and local issuers range from state DOTs managing statewide supply contracts to county departments and municipal utilities managing smaller blanket purchase orders for as-needed consumption. The City of Palo Alto Utilities Department issued an RFQ in July 2026 for primary and secondary suppliers of hot mix asphalt and coldmix cutback on a three-year blanket-purchase basis with specified tonnages per gradation and geographic sourcing requirements (batch plants within eleven miles for primary, twenty miles for secondary). Kenosha County sought hot mix asphalt materials for a specific 2026 corridor improvement project with bids due July 8, 2026. Santa Clara County and the City of Owensboro solicited asphalt materials as part of larger pavement rehabilitation and new-construction projects—the Central Expressway project in May 2026 and the OPD Training Facility project in June 2026, respectively—alongside labor and equipment, with prevailing-wage and bonding requirements typical of public-works projects. The Mississippi Department of Transportation contracts include material-adjustment provisions (adjustment codes A1 and A2) using petroleum-price-index frameworks, allowing shared price-volatility risk without requiring contract modifications; all suppliers must register through MAGIC and maintain current W-9 documentation prior to award.
