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

NIGP 74507 Asphalt, Cutback (With Latex/Polymer), an Item code, supplies hot mix asphalt (HMA) and cold-mix cutback materials for roadway maintenance, resurfacing, and capital improvement projects—materials state and local governments procure on blanket purchase orders, project-specific contracts, and as-needed bases for ongoing fleet use. The work spans suppliers delivering routine maintenance materials (tack coats, crack-relief interlayers, patching compounds in specified tonnage) and vendors furnishing asphalt for discrete capital projects such as runway reconstructions, bridge approaches, and multi-mile corridor overlays. Issuing bodies include county public works and transportation departments, municipal utilities and public works agencies, state departments of transportation, and airport authorities. County governments and state DOTs appear as repeat buyers across the recent opportunity set, with Kenosha County (Wisconsin), Barrow County and White County (Georgia), Santa Clara County (California), and the Mississippi Department of Transportation all posting bids within the past four months. City utilities departments and airport authorities round out the mix; the City of Palo Alto issued a three-year blanket purchase order for HMA and cold-mix cutback on a primary-and-secondary-supplier model, while Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport and Santa Clara County posted discrete capital projects involving asphalt overlays and runway reconstruction.

Recent opportunities cluster in the Southeast and upper Midwest, with notable activity in Georgia (five separate county and city solicitations), California (three county projects), Wisconsin (one county highway project), Mississippi (state-level supply contract), and Kentucky (two city projects). The City of Palo Alto, California RFQ (RFQ197088, posted March 17, 2026, due April 8, 2026) seeks a primary HMA and cold-mix cutback supplier within eleven miles of the Municipal Services Center to supply 3/4" and 1/2" medium and fine asphalt concrete, sheet asphalt, tack coat SS-1H (1,400 gallons annually), and cutback 3/8" cold mix (200 tons annually) on a firm fixed-pricing model for Year 1 with escalation-ladder pricing thereafter. The Mississippi Department of Transportation issued back-to-back IFBs (RFX 3160007986 and RFX3160007998, both posted April 3, 2026, due April 21, 2026) for hot and cold mix asphalt supply statewide on as-needed basis through June 30, 2026, covering CSS-1H tack coat, hot bituminous surface course, polymer-modified HMA grades, ultra-thin HMA, and pre-approved cold bituminous mixtures from MDOT-approved suppliers. Kenosha County's July 8, 2026 bid deadline (KHMA26001) targets HMA supply for a 2026 county highway corridor improvement project. White County and Barrow County, Georgia posted LMIG (Local Maintenance and Improvement Grants) program bids for resurfacing projects (due March 27 and March 18, 2026 respectively) specifying recycled asphaltic concrete tons, overlays, and striping on county road networks. Capital projects such as Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta's runway reconstruction (IFB due April 30, 2026) and Santa Clara County's Central Expressway rehabilitation (ITB due May 21, 2026) embed asphalt overlay and pavement repair within broader infrastructure scopes.
