NIGP 96718: Asphalt and Saturated Materials Manufacturing Services

NIGP 96718 Asphalt and Saturated Materials Manufacturing Services, an Item code, encompasses crack sealing and joint sealing work, resurfacing and resealing of asphalt pavements, bituminous concrete paving placement, and supply of specialized asphalt materials such as rock asphalt. State and local governments solicit under this code through cities, county governments, and school districts. The City of Arlington recently posted an annual requirements contract for crack sealing services including cleaning, prepping, and sealing cracks on asphalt streets; Pinellas County School District issued an ITB for resurfacing, resealing, restriping, and demolition and repair of asphalt areas at district facilities; Hillsborough County announced a sole-source supply contract for rock asphalt; and the City of Owensboro, Kentucky solicited bituminous concrete paving placement on designated streets through a pick-up arrangement available to multiple public agencies. Issuing bodies under this code include municipal public works departments, county governments acting as facilities managers, school districts, and regional water resource agencies.

Recent opportunities cluster in Florida, Texas, and Kentucky, with the most substantial recent solicitation originating from Pinellas County Schools' approximately $300,000 resurfacing and resealing contract with a mandatory pre-bid conference on July 21, 2026, and bids due August 4, 2026, through the District's OpenGov Procurement Portal. The Arlington crack sealing RFQ is due October 22, 2026. Bidders pursuing school district and county contracts in this space must own equipment—squeegee machines, spray tankers, pavers, striping machines, rollers, crack sealers, and dump trucks—at bid submission with demonstrated five-year continuous business history and comparable paving project experience. Personnel accessing school grounds require Level 2 background screening under the Jessica Lunsford Act where applicable. Sole-source and specialized-material procurements, such as Hillsborough County's rock asphalt award, occur alongside competitive pick-up and as-needed arrangements. Contracts typically run one to three years with renewal options and CPI-U-indexed price escalation provisions.
