Product Evaluation

Please reach out to the APL coordinator, via email [email protected] with your feedback.

Product evaluation staff do not meet with applicants. Staff will contact you if information is needed.

The AZPEP Portal is designed to be self-explanatory. To apply, please complete and submit all required forms and documentation. However, if you have questions or comments on the portal or process, please contact PEP at [email protected].

Once approved, products remain on the APL for five years or until ADOT or the applicant deems the product unacceptable, whichever comes first.

If your product has a chemical formulation, you must submit a Safety Data Sheet.

NTPEP test data are acceptable if the ADOT specification for your product category requires NTPEP testing. Please review the specifications to determine whether this applies to your product. When applying, please specify where that data is stored in the NTPEP datamine. For product categories with requirements not covered by the NTPEP testing, please provide independent test data from an accredited lab.

COCs and COAs do not substitute for the required test data. In addition, having a product on the APL does not exempt a vendor from submitting a COC or COA prior to the product's use in construction. COC and COA requirements are found within the Materials Quality Assurance Program Manual, under Appendix C, the Sampling Guide Schedule, and Certificates.

At the time of submitting your application, all testing data will need to be current within five years of submission.

• Applicants can ensure that they have read the ADOT Specifications and have identified the appropriate category and subcategory for their product, that testing has been performed within the last five years by an accredited lab, and that they submit all required materials within stated deadlines.
• Applicants should review the posted evaluation tables that contain the requirements for a number of APL Categories. If your category does not have a table, please reach out to the APL mailbox at [email protected].

• Yes, unless otherwise specified in the Special Provisions, products not appearing on the Approved Products List at the time of the bid opening may be used if they meet the requirements of the contract documents. Further requirements are found in section 106.14 Approved Products List of the standard specifications.
