Hot-Pour Crack Sealant Supply

The Texas Department of Transportation is seeking a subcontractor to supply hot-applied rubberized or polymer-modified asphalt sealant for highway crack sealing operations, with the solicitation posted on July 28, 2026, and responses due by August 18, 2026. The sealant must meet specification standards for use in high-traffic road environments, ensuring durability, adhesion, and resistance to weathering and traffic wear. The contract falls under NAICS code 324199, which categorizes other petroleum and coal products manufacturing, indicating the product is a specialized asphalt-based material formulated for pavement preservation rather than general construction. Performance of this contract will occur across Texas state highways, with no specific city or zip code designated as the place of performance, implying the sealant must be deliverable to multiple locations statewide as required by maintenance schedules. The agreement is structured as a subcontract, meaning the supplier will provide materials to a prime contractor or agency entity responsible for field application, rather than performing the sealing work directly. Bidders must ensure their product complies with TxDOT’s technical requirements for hot-pour sealants, including viscosity, elasticity, and temperature resistance, and be prepared to meet just-in-time delivery schedules to support seasonal pavement repair operations. All inquiries and submissions must be processed through the TX SmartBuy portal linked in the posting.
