NIGP 74528: Asphaltic Shell

NIGP 74528 Asphaltic Shell is an Item code under which state and local governments solicit pavement repair, resurfacing, and overlay work on existing roadways, airport runways, and paved surfaces. Recent opportunities show governments buying full-depth asphalt replacement, mill-and-overlay operations, recycled asphalt resurfacing, crack sealing, spall repair, and associated striping and shoulder work—work that restores deteriorating pavements to safe, functional condition without requiring wholesale roadway reconstruction.

State departments of transportation, county highway divisions, city public works departments, airport authorities, community college facilities departments, and school districts all actively solicit under this code. Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport (Department of Aviation) and Broward County (Highway Construction and Engineering Division) emerge as repeat buyers in the recent record. Geographic activity spans California (Santa Clara County), Florida (Broward County, Hillsborough County, Brevard County, Citrus County School Board), Georgia (DeKalb County, Barrow County, White County, Heard County, City of Fairburn, Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta), and Texas (San Jacinto Community College District). Representative recent opportunities include the Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport's Airfield Repairs 2024–2026 (Department of Aviation, IFB PE66062NONST2026000000419, response due June 26, 2026), covering runway, taxiway, and ramp spall repairs and full-depth slab replacement at the airport's Air Operations Area; Broward County's Pine Island Road Capacity Expansion (ITB TRN2131938C1, response due June 2, 2026), which includes widening and overlay work with an FDOT pre-qualification requirement for Flexible Paving and a mandatory 30 percent County Business Enterprise participation goal; and Santa Clara County's Central Expressway Pavement Rehabilitation Project (ITB ITBRDAFY260652, response due May 21, 2026), encompassing partial-depth recycling, hot-mix asphalt overlay, and PCC curb and sidewalk work. The code sees steady activity across routine maintenance contracts (three-year multiyear paving services in DeKalb County) and discrete capital projects with completion windows ranging from 45 to 210 calendar days, with prevailing wage, bonding, insurance, and FDOT or GDOT prequalification requirements standard across most solicitations.
