NIGP 74577: Rock Asphalt

NIGP 74577 Rock Asphalt, an Item code, encompasses asphalt materials and crushing services that state and local governments procure for pavement installation, repair, and infrastructure rehabilitation. Recent solicitations show municipalities, counties, school districts, and transit authorities purchasing hot mix asphalt (HMA) in multiple grades and viscosities, cold-mix cutback materials, aggregate crushing services, and chip seal aggregates to support public works departments, utility operations, and capital improvement projects. The City of Palo Alto issued an RFQ for hot mix asphalt and coldmix cutback material with annual volumes reaching 7,485 tons across seven line items (3/4" medium, 1/2" fine, 3/8" fine, 1/4" fine asphalt concrete, sheet asphalt, tack coat SS-1H, and cold-mix 3/8"), while the City of Owensboro, Cherokee County Board of Commissioners, and Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport all posted ITB and RFQ notices for asphalt paving, crushing services, and runway/taxiway repairs. Issuing bodies range from single-project municipal departments to county procurement offices managing blanket purchase orders and multi-phase construction contracts, with as-needed blanket PO structures dominating recent activity across both large and small jurisdictions.

Recent opportunities cluster in California (Santa Clara County and Palo Alto alone posted five separate ITBs and RFQs between April and September 2026 for pavement rehabilitation, trail reconstruction, and material supply), with activity also appearing in Texas (City of Waxahachie annual pavement repair RFP due June 20, 2024), Georgia (Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport airfield repairs, June 2026), Oregon (ODOT chip seal aggregate delivery, June 2026), Michigan (Genesee Intermediate School District parking lot rehabilitation, May 2026), Florida (Broward County Pine Island Road capacity expansion and Central Expressway pavement rehabilitation, May–June 2026), and Kentucky (City of Owensboro OPD training facility paving, June 2026). The City of Palo Alto's RFQ for hot mix asphalt and coldmix cutback (RFQ197088, due April 8, 2026) required primary suppliers within eleven miles of the municipal service center and secondary suppliers within twenty miles, with firm fixed pricing for Year 1 and escalation-ladder pricing thereafter; Santa Clara County's Pavement Installation and Repair Services ITB (ITB-PRC-FY27-0066, due August 31, 2026) carried an estimated contract sum of $2.5 million for multiple work orders on county roads, expressways, parking lots, and pathways. Prevailing-wage requirements applied across construction-based solicitations in California, Georgia, Michigan, and Florida, and evaluation criteria typically emphasized cost (40–50%), experience and qualifications (20–25%), and response time or references (10–25%).
