NIGP 74580: Rubber Asphalt Crack Sealing Compound

NIGP 74580 Rubber Asphalt Crack Sealing Compound, an Item code, encompasses the procurement of hot or cold pour sealant materials used in asphalt pavement maintenance and repair, as well as associated crack sealing services. State and local governments purchase these materials and services to arrest pavement deterioration on roadways, parking lots, airport runways, and taxiways before cracks propagate into larger structural failures. Recent solicitations show activity spanning both the material commodity itself (discrete sealant orders) and integrated crack sealing service contracts where bidders supply both labor and materials. Public works departments, transportation agencies, airport authorities, water utilities, and county maintenance offices issue these solicitations under ITB and RFP vehicles. The City of Arlington (Texas) and County of Santa Clara (California) appear as repeat buyers, with Santa Clara issuing multiple pavement and infrastructure maintenance contracts that incorporate crack sealing as a component scope. Work scopes range from standalone hot crack sealant procurement—such as the City of Temple's June 2026 ITB for 2,500 units of Crafco PolyFlex Type 3 sealant at an estimated $45,000 annual value—to comprehensive crack sealing bundled within larger pavement rehabilitation projects.

Recent procurement activity concentrates in California (Santa Clara County, City of Arlington), Texas (City of Temple, City of Arlington, City of Owensboro in Kentucky), Oregon (Portland Air National Guard Base, Klamath Falls Airport–Kingsley Field), Georgia (Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport), and Mississippi (Jackson Municipal Airport Authority). Representative opportunities include the City of Arlington's October 22, 2026 crack sealing services RFP covering cleaning, prepping, and sealing cracks on asphalt streets; the County of Santa Clara's Pavement Installation and Repair Services ITB (ITB-PRC-FY27-0066, due August 31, 2026) with an estimated contract value of $2.5 million across county roads, expressways, parking lots, and pathways; the Oregon Military Department's FY26 Airfield Pavement Bundle ITB (due July 23, 2026) specifying crack sealing with sealants conforming to ASTM D6690 Type I or II; and the Jackson Municipal Airport Authority's Runway 16L-34R rehabilitation ITB (due May 19, 2026) including crack seal and seal coat. Most airport and military airfield projects impose prevailing wage requirements, licensing mandates, and federal compliance provisions. Bid bonds and performance/payment bonds are standard, typically set at 10 percent of estimated contract value.
