State and local governments procure slurry seal services for high-volume street and road resurfacing across multiple jurisdictions, typically bundling the work with pavement preparation, striping, and traffic control under competitive sealed bids or job order contracts with response deadlines ranging from two to six weeks.

Recent solicitations span cities, counties, state transportation departments, and special districts across the South, Southwest, and Pacific Northwest.
