UNSPSC 22101607: Road pavers

UNSPSC 22101607 Road pavers is a Commodity code that captures state and local procurement of asphalt paving equipment and related operator services. Recent opportunities show jurisdictions acquiring self-propelled bituminous pavers ranging from full-service rental (equipment plus experienced operators) to equipment-only acquisition for agency or contractor operation. California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) solicited a three-year rental of a fully operated and maintained Terex Cedarapids CR362L or equivalent asphalt paver with three dedicated operators under IFB #10A2959 (response deadline October 29, 2026), while Hillsborough County, Florida requested competitive quotes for a two-month Leeboy Model 8606 or equivalent paver rental estimated at $34,640.00 under ITQ 26-00300 (response deadline June 29, 2026). On the acquisition side, the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts Statewide Procurement Division solicited sealed bids on new self-propelled bituminous pavers and cold planers under IFB 304T-27-755A1 (response deadline August 6, 2026) for statewide distribution across 25 districts; the Illinois Department of Central Management Services established a joint purchase master contract for multiple asphalt equipment lines including self-propelled crawler-type bituminous pavers under IFB 27-416-CMS-BOSS4-B-52918 (response deadline August 12, 2026) available to all Illinois governmental units and qualified nonprofits. Beyond direct paver acquisition, state and county departments issue contracts for paving and resurfacing work that incorporate paver operations—Macon-Bibb County, Georgia posted three separate IFBs for "Paving The Way" projects covering roadway milling and Superpave asphalt resurfacing across 9 to 10 miles each (all with July 16, 2026 response deadlines), and Oregon Department of Transportation sought grind-and-inlay paving services on US26 and I-84 corridors under ITB S-73000-00017241 and ITB S-73000-00017026 (response deadlines July 7 and June 11, 2026).

Issuing bodies span state transportation departments, state procurement vehicles (Texas Comptroller, Illinois CMS), county engineering and public works departments, and special-purpose transit or airport authorities. Recent activity concentrates in California, Georgia, Oregon, Texas, and Illinois; Florida and North Carolina round out the current set. Caltrans, Macon-Bibb County, and the Texas Comptroller emerge as repeat buyers within this sample. Set-asides and preferences vary by jurisdiction—Caltrans offers 5% small business and 5% DVBE participation incentives (capped at $50,000 and $100,000 respectively); Illinois CMS mandates 4% Business Enterprise Program participation with a utilization plan requirement; Georgia counties encourage M/W/DBE participation and reserve local-vendor preference within 5% of the lowest bid. Prevailing wage requirements apply in California (Caltrans), Georgia (Macon-Bibb), Oregon (BOLI rates by region), and Texas (Potter County). Most paver solicitations require bonding (bid, performance, and payment bonds), current contractor licensing, equipment specifications to model year and horsepower minimums, and in rental cases, operator qualifications (minimum two years experience cited by Caltrans).
