UNSPSC 30121604: Cutback products

UNSPSC 30121604 Cutback products is a Commodity code that encompasses asphalt tack coats, cutback asphalt materials, and cold-mix asphalt products used in pavement construction and maintenance by state and local transportation departments and utilities. Recent state and local solicitations show agencies buying tack coat (SS-1H and CSS-1H grades), cutback asphalt cold-mix, and related bituminous materials for blanket purchase orders, resurfacing projects, and infrastructure rehabilitation. State departments of transportation, county highway divisions, city utilities and public works departments, and county boards of commissioners are the primary issuing bodies. Notably, the Mississippi Department of Transportation has issued two recent procurements for hot and cold mix asphalt supply (RFX 3160007986 and RFX 3160007998), while the City of Palo Alto issued an RFQ in March 2026 (RFQ197088) for primary and secondary suppliers of hot mix asphalt and cutback material on a three-year blanket purchase order basis with as-needed procurement and firm fixed Year 1 pricing followed by escalation-based pricing for subsequent years.
