NIGP 74580: Rubber Asphalt Crack Sealing Compound

NIGP 74580 Rubber Asphalt Crack Sealing Compound, an Item code, represents crack sealing and pavement preservation materials and services that state and local governments deploy to extend pavement life and manage deteriorating concrete and asphalt surfaces. Recent solicitations show state and local agencies are actively procuring rubber and polymer-modified crack sealants, hot crack sealant products, and integrated crack-sealing-with-overlay systems as components of larger airfield rehabilitation, roadway resurfacing, and pavement preservation programs. Work under this code includes hot-applied sealants meeting ASTM D6690 specifications, polymer-modified rubber compounds for high-performance thin-lift overlays, and field-applied crack repair systems ranging from narrow joint routing to comprehensive crack-sealing-plus-rejuvenation operations on runways, taxiways, parking aprons, and municipal streets.

Issuing bodies span military installations, county and city transportation departments, airport authorities, and regional cooperative purchasing programs. The Oregon Military Department has issued multiple ITBs for airfield pavement bundles at Portland Air National Guard Base and Kingsley Field, each combining crack sealing with milling, overlay, and fog-seal work. Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport's Department of Aviation, the City of Temple (Texas), and county authorities in Georgia, Wisconsin, Massachusetts, and California have posted opportunities within the past six months. The Berkshire Regional Group Purchasing Program (BRGPP) in Massachusetts coordinates pavement preservation product procurement across 32 participating municipalities in Berkshire County, with an estimated contract value of $1,748,500 for pavement preservation products including crack sealing. Geographic concentration appears strongest in Georgia (Fayette County, Wayne County, Heard County, Barrow County, White County), California (Santa Clara County, City of Napa, City of Fairburn), and Massachusetts (Berkshire County cooperative), with additional recent activity in Oregon, Texas, Illinois, and Wisconsin. The City of Temple's hot crack sealant ITB (ITB #34-01-27, due June 23, 2026) specifies Crafco PolyFlex Type 3 or approved equal, with an estimated annual contract value of $45,000 and a two-year term running October 1, 2026 through September 30, 2028; Waukesha County's bid for hot patch and cold patch asphalt (Bid No. 2026003, due February 19, 2026) allocated approximately $60,000 for county use. The Berkshire Regional Group Purchasing Program's FY27-09 Chip Seal procurement (due April 2, 2026) estimated $59,580 for stone-sealing services with rubber-modified application across participating North County municipalities. Oregon Military Department's FY26 Airfield Pavement Bundle at Portland Air National Guard Base (ITB due July 23, 2026) includes crack sealing with sealants conforming to ASTM D6690 Type I or II, requiring a 200-foot test section approval before full-scale operations and federal funding involvement.
