UNSPSC 22101605: Asphalt finishers

UNSPSC 22101605 Asphalt finishers (Commodity) encompasses the supply and installation of self-propelled bituminous paver equipment and related pavement-finishing machinery that state and local governments procure for roadway construction, resurfacing, and maintenance programs. Recent solicitations across state departments, counties, and transit authorities show this code active in two distinct procurement streams: equipment supply (typically through state-level cooperative contracts) and equipment rental (typically through county or municipal needs). The Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts issued IFB 304T-27-755A1 (due August 6, 2026) seeking sealed bids on paver-finisher units and track-mounted cold planers meeting EPA standards with 12-month warranties; the Illinois Department of Central Management Services posted IFB 27-416-CMS-BOSS4-B-52918 (due August 12, 2026) for a joint purchase master contract encompassing crawler-type bituminous pavers, self-propelled rollers, brooms, road wideners, and related asphalt equipment available to all Illinois governmental units. Hillsborough County in Florida requested competitive quotes (ITQ 26-00300, due June 29, 2026) for a single Leeboy Model 8606 asphalt paver rental over two months at an estimated $34,640. Issuing bodies span state procurement divisions managing multi-district or statewide cooperative agreements, county transportation departments, and municipal public works departments; Macon-Bibb County and the City of Atlanta dominate recent activity with multiple concurrent asphalt overlay and resurfacing projects that depend on equipment availability.

Recent opportunities concentrate in Georgia, Texas, Illinois, Utah, Florida, and Oregon, with Georgia showing the highest frequency through Macon-Bibb County's ongoing "Paving the Way" projects covering 8 to 13 miles per project. Representative procurements include the Texas Comptroller IFB for equipment supply to 25 highway districts (bids August 6, 2026, with pre-bid meeting July 16, 2026), the Illinois CMS joint purchase master contract for indefinite-quantity asphalt equipment with five-year initial term commencing March 1, 2027, and the Hillsborough County equipment rental ITQ with delivery within 15 days of purchase order. The code's recent activity reflects steady demand from state departments and counties managing large-scale road maintenance programs; equipment specifications emphasize EPA Tier 4F compliance, automated grade and slope control, and rapid warranty response (two working days notification to eight working day completion in the Texas solicitation). No set-asides are named in recent equipment-supply opportunities; however, Illinois's joint purchase master contract carries a 4 percent Business Enterprise Program goal. Pricing models vary—state cooperatives typically establish firm pricing locked at contract execution with manufacturer's suggested retail price discounts, while equipment rentals price on a two-month or seasonal basis with delivery and operational readiness as key evaluation factors.
