UNSPSC 30121600: Asphalts

UNSPSC 30121600 Asphalts, a Class code, encompasses the supply and application of asphalt materials and services that state and local governments procure for pavement maintenance, resurfacing, overlay work, and specialized sealing applications on roads, parking lots, and facility grounds. Recent solicitations show governments buying hot mix asphalt concrete delivered to job sites or picked up at vendor plants, liquid asphalt emulsions (CRS-2h, CSS-2, CRS2P, and polymer-modified variants) for chip seals and surface treatments, bituminous pavement for milling-and-overlay projects, and crack-fill and seal services using asphalt-rubber sealants. Work ranges from small municipally managed parking-lot repairs to county-scale mill-and-resurface programs spanning multiple lane miles.

State departments of transportation, county boards of supervisors, city public works departments, school districts, and housing authorities dominate the issuing body mix, with repeat activity from Pinellas County (Florida), Charlotte and Arlington (North Carolina cities), Clayton County and other Georgia jurisdictions, and Missouri Department of Transportation. Geographic spread is nationwide, with concentrated recent activity in Florida, Massachusetts, Georgia, Missouri, California, and the broader Southeast and Southwest. Representative opportunities include the City of Charlotte's IFB for Portland cement for sidewalk and traffic-signal foundation work (due November 3, 2026), the City of Peoria, Arizona's ongoing crack-fill services RFQ with annual expenditure of $400,000 to $600,000 (due October 30, 2026), Missouri Department of Transportation's plant-pickup hot mix ITB for November 2026 through October 2027 with optional renewals (due October 23, 2026), Pinellas County's milling-and-resurfacing packages totaling over $20 million across four FY2027 ITBs with 7 percent SBE participation goals, and Camden County, Georgia's road asphalt resurfacing under LMIG/SAP for 13.2 miles across three roads (due October 15, 2026). Activity accelerated sharply in August and September 2026, with numerous fall-season paving programs awarded or advertised. Most solicitations are ITBs or RFQs; prevailing wage requirements appear frequently in school and housing-authority projects and in federally funded work. Buy American Act preferences and state-level set-asides (SBE, DBE, MBE, WBE) are common.
