UNSPSC 30121600: Asphalts

UNSPSC 30121600 Asphalts, a Class code, encompasses the supply of hot mix asphalt (HMA), cold mix asphalt, polymer-modified emulsified asphalt, and bituminous concrete materials that state and local governments procure for roadway construction, resurfacing, and maintenance work. Recent solicitations show state DOTs, counties, municipalities, and special districts buying asphalt in bulk for pavement projects—ranging from small local supply contracts to large-scale pavement preservation programs spanning dozens of lane miles.

The issuing-body mix spans state departments (Missouri DOT, Massachusetts DOT, MassDOT), counties (Pinellas County, Salt Lake County, Collin County, Kenosha County, Jones County, Macon-Bibb County, Noxubee County, Hunt County, Henderson County), cities (Fort Myers, Palo Alto, Lawrence, Amherst, West Springfield, Torrington), school districts (Pinellas County Schools), and service agencies (Stansbury Park Service Agency). Pinellas County stands out as a repeat buyer, with four recent pavement preservation packages (FY 2027 Packages 1–4) soliciting asphalt supply and placement across 150+ lane miles. Salt Lake County issued a multi-award RFC for asphalt concrete mix and trucking with an estimated annual value of $1.7 million over six years. Geographic activity concentrates in Florida (Fort Myers, Pinellas County, Orange County), Texas (Collin County, Hunt County, Henderson County, Lubbock), California (Palo Alto, Orange County), the Midwest (Salt Lake County, Kenosha County, Wisconsin), and the Northeast (Massachusetts towns, Connecticut). Representative recent opportunities include the City of Fort Myers ITB 26070 for mill and replace asphalt resurfacing on sixteen streets across ten and six segments (response due August 17, 2026, with separate packages for traditional and full-depth reclamation methods); Pinellas County's FY 2027 Pavement Preservation Package 3 (ITB 260363, 38.92 lane miles, SBE participation goal at 7%, response due July 21, 2026 and August 11, 2026 in two steps); and Salt Lake County's asphalt concrete mix and trucking RFC (response due December 31, 2026, estimated $1.7 million annually over six years). Collin County has issued three separate asphalt material solicitations—liquid asphalts (IFB 2026277), asphaltic concrete (IFB 2026280 with up to $3 million estimated value), and aggregates for surface treatments (IFB 2026278)—all due July 16, 2026. Specifications consistently reference state DOT standards (FDOT, TxDOT, UDOT, APWA) and require compliance with recycled content questionnaires, E-Verify affidavits, and performance/payment bonds. Delivery and geographic constraints are common—vendors must often locate within defined radii (e.g., 10 miles for Amherst HMA plant, 25 miles for Salt Lake County suppliers) and meet 24- to 48-hour delivery windows.
