UNSPSC 22101622: Asphalt recycler

A machine used to recycle pieces of asphalt which were once used for construction, road maintenance and laying pipe-line.

UNSPSC 22101622 Asphalt recycler (Commodity) names a single equipment category, but state and local government activity under this code aligns primarily with pavement rehabilitation, repair, and maintenance services that incorporate recycled asphalt materials. Recent solicitations show that jurisdictions are procuring asphalt recycling services as part of broader roadway and infrastructure improvement work — specifically milling and overlay operations, partial-depth recycling (PDR), hot mix asphalt patching, and crack-sealing work. State departments of transportation, county public works departments, and municipal transportation and streets divisions are the primary issuing bodies, with activity spanning Georgia, Texas, California, Florida, Utah, and Arizona. Representative recent solicitations include the Santa Clara County Central Expressway Pavement Rehabilitation Project (ITB-RDA-FY26-0694, due May 21, 2026) specifying partial-depth recycling and hot mix asphalt overlay across a multi-mile corridor; the Utah Department of Transportation I-15 Mile Post 42 bump repair (IFB UDOT270068CN, due October 5, 2026) calling for rotomilling and hot mix asphalt fill; the City of Arlington annual requirements contract for hot mix asphalt concrete (Solicitation 270011, due September 3, 2026); and the Texas Department of Transportation solicitation for portable asphalt recycling machines with trailers for the Amarillo District (Bonfire ID 601440000052592, due July 30, 2026).

Geographic concentration is heaviest in California and Georgia, with secondary activity in Texas, Utah, Arizona, and Florida. Counties and state transportation departments dominate the issuing body mix — Santa Clara County, Orange County, Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport, City of Atlanta Department of Transportation, and the Utah and Texas departments of transportation appear repeatedly in recent notices. Competitive sealed bids (IFB) and informal bids for on-call construction services predominate, with contract values ranging from under $1 million for minor repairs to $6.2 million for multi-location bridge work and $2.5 million for countywide pavement services. The code shows steady activity in infrastructure maintenance and capital improvement cycles tied to annual grant programs (LMIG) and emergency or deferred maintenance backlogs, with no set-asides or preferences identified in most solicitations, though prevailing-wage requirements apply in California and Georgia public works.
