UNSPSC 27112211: Tuck pointer

Tuck pointers (also called joint fillers) are used in repairing the mortar in old brick walls. The size and shape of a tuck pointer's blade allow for easy application of new mortar between old bricks..

UNSPSC 27112211 Tuck pointer is a Commodity code that state and local governments tag inconsistently; the recent opportunities filed under it do not reflect tuck-pointer work (mortar joint repair and repointing) but rather janitorial supplies, concrete construction, and equipment procurement. Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners' ITB for janitorial and operational supplies represents the closest thematic match, though the code's nominal scope does not align with the current activity block. The issuing bodies soliciting work tagged with this code include county purchasing offices (Hillsborough County, Orange County, Waukesha County), municipalities (City of Jackson, City of Madison, City of Fairburn), and special-purpose authorities (Madison Community Development Authority). None of these buyers appears more than once in the recent-opportunities set, and the work itself spans janitorial consumables, ready-mix concrete delivery, bridge replacement, concrete sidewalk installation, and equipment procurement—categories that share little with masonry repointing.

Geographic activity appears concentrated in the Southeast and Midwest, with individual solicitations from Florida (Hillsborough County and Orange County), Wisconsin (City of Jackson in Michigan and Waukesha County), Georgia (City of Fairburn), and Wisconsin (City of Madison). The most recent solicitations include Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners' ITB 2600319 for janitorial and operational supplies due July 24, 2026 (estimated contract value $765,679.84), Orange County, Florida's sealed-bid emergency bridge replacement (ITB Y26742, due July 7, 2026, estimated cost $6,202,246.05), City of Madison's IFB for concrete sidewalk removal and replacement at Gay Braxton Apartments (due July 17, 2026), and Waukesha County's RFB 2026006 for a concrete saw (due March 5, 2026). The code shows minimal recent activity aligned with traditional tuck-pointer work; pursuit under this code is unlikely to yield repointing or masonry joint repair opportunities.
