NIGP 74514: Asphaltic Concrete, Cold Laid

NIGP 74514 Asphaltic Concrete, Cold Laid is an Item code under which state and local governments procure cold-mix asphalt materials, including premixed and bagged proprietary formulations, for pothole repair, patching, maintenance work, and small-scale street rehabilitation projects. Recent activity shows agencies buying this commodity alongside hot-mix asphalt and other pavement materials; the code captures materials specification, delivery, and inventory management but does not typically include application labor in base procurement scope, which contrasts with related codes covering full pavement services. Issuing bodies across the sample include Texas state agencies (TxDOT, the Texas Department of Transportation), county transportation and public works departments (Collin County, Hillsborough County, Orange County Florida), city procurement offices (City of Buda, City of Tampa), and special districts. TxDOT and Texas-based municipalities appear as repeat buyers, reflecting significant state-level infrastructure maintenance demand in that jurisdiction.

Recent representative solicitations span multiple notice types and contract structures. The Texas Department of Transportation posted IFB 601320000072155 in October 2026 for Limestone Rock Asphalt Pavement Cold Mix, Item 330 (bids due November 4, 2026), requiring vendor registration on the Texas Comptroller Centralized Master Bidders List and submission through the TxDOT Procurement Portal; the same agency previously solicited Limestone Rock Asphalt Cold Mix for the Beaumont District in April 2026 (bids due February 27, 2026, posted April 24, 2026). The City of Tampa issued RFQ 26-P-00546 in October 2026 requesting quotes for bagged cold-patch asphalt inventory (National Paving Perma Patch and Black Top Patch brands, 550 bags total, FOB Destination within five business days). Hillsborough County announced a sole-source procurement intent in May 2026 for Rock Asphalt from Blades Group LLC, a sole supplier of naturally infused limestone rock asphalt (three-year term, $246,192 estimated value), with sealed challenges due June 3, 2026. The code sees concentrated recent activity in Texas and Florida, with scattered activity across California, Arizona, Georgia, and other states. Cold-mix formulations command premium pricing when materials deliver superior cohesion or specialized performance, as illustrated by the Hillsborough County sole-source procurement and the TxDOT limestone rock asphalt specifications, making differentiated product positioning relevant to vendor strategy in this category.
