NIGP 75535: Asphalt Pavers, Towed Type

NIGP 75535 Asphalt Pavers, Towed Type is an Item code under which state and local governments procure trailer-mounted asphalt distribution, spray patching, sealant application, and patch-box equipment for roadway maintenance and resurfacing programs. The Illinois Department of Central Management Services posted a joint purchase master contract IFB on July 8, 2026 (bids due August 12, 2026) for asphalt equipment including trailer-mounted distributors with 1,000-gallon insulated tanks, spray patchers with 250-gallon pressurized tanks, sealant units with 250-gallon capacity and rubberized asphalt capability, and asphalt patch boxes at 4-ton capacity—all new, manufacturer's current production models with firm pricing discounts off MSRP held constant over a five-year initial term and up to ten years with renewal. This is an indefinite-quantity contract available to all Illinois governmental units and qualified not-for-profit agencies, carrying a 4% Business Enterprise Program participation goal and requiring F.O.B. Destination delivery within Illinois at a $500 minimum order value. The contract will be awarded to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder or by individual equipment line; authorized dealers and established manufacturers must demonstrate dealer authorization and active status in the Illinois Procurement Gateway.

Recent opportunities under this code cluster heavily in Georgia, where county transportation departments and departments of aviation are procuring asphalt equipment and services as part of broader paving and pavement-maintenance programs rather than as standalone towed-equipment acquisitions. Macon-Bibb County Board of Commissioners posted three "Paving The Way" projects (Projects 8, 9, and 10) in June 2026 with sealed-bid IFBs due July 16, 2026, each encompassing 8.75 to 9.96 miles of milling, Superpave asphalt overlay, patching, and striping—activities that may consume towed asphalt distributor and spray-patcher services but do not itself procure the equipment. Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport's Department of Aviation solicited airfield construction services for runway, taxiway, and ramp spall repairs and joint and crack sealing in June 2026 due June 26, 2026, an operation that may deploy towed paving support equipment. The City of Atlanta Department of Transportation's Cleveland Avenue pedestrian and roadway improvement project (IFB due July 31, 2026) similarly focuses on crosswalk, signal, and geometric work rather than equipment supply. Santa Clara County, California posted two pavement-rehabilitation projects (Central Expressway and Expressway Guardrail Replacement, both spring 2026) that involve hot-mix asphalt overlay and related work but do not themselves procure towed asphalt pavers. Activity under this specific Item code appears limited; the broader asphalt paving class sees steady county and municipal work in Georgia and California, but end-user demand for towed asphalt equipment as a standalone procurement is not evident in the recent opportunities block.
