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 work actually being solicited under it in recent state and local procurement activity. The recent opportunities tagged to this code—including pedestrian mobility improvements, airfield pavement repairs, law enforcement equipment procurement, pavement preservation slurry seal applications, roadway capacity expansion, and pavement rehabilitation—involve asphalt application, overlay, repair, and related paving work, but do not center on the procurement or rental of asphalt melter equipment itself. The mismatch suggests either miscoding in the source records or that asphalt melters are incidental to broader paving contracts rather than standalone line-item solicitations under this code.

State and local issuers from municipal transportation departments (City of Atlanta, City of Peoria), county highway divisions (Broward County, Santa Clara County), airport authorities (Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport), and regional procurement cooperatives (Sourcewell on behalf of multiple Washington counties) posted opportunities between late April and early July 2026 with response deadlines ranging from May 22 to July 31, 2026. Geographic activity centered in Georgia, Arizona, California, and Florida, with secondary participation from Washington state through a cooperative purchasing vehicle. The City of Peoria's Pavement Management Preservation Bid (P260051, due May 22, 2026) allocated $7.65 million total with an estimated $1.7 million annual spend on polymer-modified slurry seal delivery and application, and Broward County's Pine Island Road Capacity Expansion (TRN2131938C1, due June 2, 2026) required FDOT Pre-Qualification Certificates and imposed a 30 percent County Business Enterprise participation goal. Because the code shows minimal direct solicitation for asphalt melter equipment itself, vendors pursuing this code should verify scope alignment with individual issuers during the pre-bid phase rather than assuming standing demand.
