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) covers the procurement of portable equipment and processing services for recycling asphalt pavement materials into reusable road-base aggregates. State and local governments use this code to acquire standalone milling and crushing machinery, mobile recycling units with trailer support, and on-site processing contracts that reduce waste and lower material costs on resurfacing and rehabilitation projects. The issuing bodies are predominantly transportation departments and counties managing road maintenance programs, supplemented by cities undertaking street rehabilitation initiatives and special-purpose districts such as airport authorities. Recent solicitations show activity across state departments of transportation (Texas DOT, Utah DOT, Georgia counties), county transportation offices (Orange County, Santa Clara County), city public works divisions (Atlanta, Peoria, Madison, Richardson), and specialized facilities (Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport, Walton County landfill operations). The work ranges from procurement of equipment to install at a single facility (Texas DOT seeking portable asphalt recycling machines with trailers, due July 30, 2026) to contracted processing services where the vendor mobilizes crushing or milling equipment and manages material handling and quality assurance (Walton County, Florida procuring on-site concrete crushing with removal of reinforcing steel, due February 26, 2026).

Geographic concentration is strongest in the Southeast and Southwest, with notable recent activity in Texas, Utah, Georgia, California, Arizona, and Florida. Representative opportunities include the Texas Department of Transportation's request for portable asphalt recycling machines with trailers through the Bonfire procurement portal (IFB, due July 30, 2026); Walton County, Florida's invitation to bid on on-site concrete crushing with multi-size aggregate output meeting FDOT specifications (ITB, due February 26, 2026); and the Utah Department of Transportation Region 1 paving and milling contract (IFB UDOT260189CN, due April 2, 2026). Asphalt-processing equipment solicitations cluster around road rehabilitation programs funded through state LMIG (Local Maintenance and Improvement Grants) programs and dedicated transportation budgets. Contracts typically require full-time on-site supervision, compliance with DOT material specifications, performance bonds equal to contract value, and specialized insurance; many impose liquidated-damages provisions for schedule delays and require contractors to maintain stockpiles or provide will-call availability for materials. The code shows sustained activity tied to pavement-management cycles and infrastructure maintenance funding, with issuing bodies favoring equipment suppliers and service providers demonstrating past experience with similar-scale municipal or state highway operations.
