UNSPSC 22101627: Asphalt melter

A device used to heat and melt asphalt which is provided to the mixing machine of an asphalt mixing plant. It consists of an asphalt kettle, an asphalt tank, and oil heater and an asphalt pump.

UNSPSC 22101627 Asphalt melter is a Commodity code that does not align with the recent state and local opportunities posted under it. The source materials show solicitations for asphalt paving, slurry seal application, liquid asphalt supply, pavement rehabilitation, guardrail replacement, and bridge construction—none of which directly involve asphalt melters or melting equipment. The three asphalt-specific opportunities (Utah Department of Transportation liquid asphalt oil procurements for Regions 1 and 3, and City of Peoria polymer-modified slurry seal delivery and application) purchase finished liquid asphalt products and application services rather than melting or heating equipment. The code appears inactive or misclassified in current state and local procurement activity; no issuing body has posted a solicitation for asphalt melter equipment, rental, or related services during the period reflected in the source.

The geographic spread of tangentially related asphalt work spans California (Santa Clara County bridge and expressway projects), Georgia (White County and Barrow County road resurfacing under LMIG programs, City of Atlanta pedestrian improvements), Arizona (City of Peoria slurry seal contract), Florida (Broward County capacity expansion), and Utah (UDOT liquid asphalt procurement). However, these opportunities target contractors performing paving and resurfacing work, not vendors supplying or servicing asphalt melting equipment. The issuing bodies include state transportation departments (UDOT), counties (Santa Clara, Broward, Barrow, White), cities (Atlanta, Peoria), and special-purpose districts, but none has solicited asphalt melter products or services. Business development professionals should treat this code as currently dormant in state and local procurement unless the issuing body misclassified the work or the code designation is incorrect.
