UNSPSC 27112227: Grout spreader

A tool used to spread grout across tiles and into the spaces between them. It has a flexible, squeegee edge to move the grout around without damaging the surface of the tiles.

UNSPSC 27112227 Grout spreader (Commodity) shows minimal recent state and local activity directly aligned with the code's nominal scope. The six recent opportunities posted across Florida, Wisconsin, and Michigan include precast concrete pads and sleeves for utility infrastructure, concrete sidewalk removal and replacement, bridge replacements, janitorial supplies, and ready-mix concrete delivery — none of which center on grout-spreading equipment or services as a primary procurement item. Two opportunities under Kissimmee Utility Authority for precast concrete pads, sleeves, and posts (solicitations AR26033JG and AR26050JG, both as-needed requirements contracts) come closest to concrete-adjacent work, but they concern manufactured concrete products rather than grout-spreading labor or equipment. The first was cancelled on July 1, 2026 with no award; the second, a rebid posted September 7, 2026 with bids due August 11, 2026, targets precast product supply with firm-fixed unit pricing and a 100% performance bond requirement. The issuing-body mix spans utility authorities (Kissimmee Utility Authority), counties (Indian River County, Hillsborough County, Orange County), municipalities (City of Madison, City of Jackson), and community development authorities, with no repeat buyers visible under this particular code in recent months.

The geographic spread reflects scattered Florida activity (four of six opportunities) alongside single solicitations in Wisconsin and Michigan. Beyond the precast concrete rebid in Kissimmee, representative opportunities include Indian River County's entrance restoration for Buildings A and B at the County Administration Complex (solicitation 2026033, IFB, bids due August 27, 2026), which encompasses concrete replacement and trench-drain installation with mandatory trench-safety compliance certifications; Orange County's emergency bridge replacements for Wallington Drive and Egret Way bridges (solicitation Y26742, estimated cost $6,202,246.05, bids due July 7, 2026); and City of Jackson's ready-mix concrete delivery RFP (solicitation 2026PUBLICWORKS021, response due June 18, 2026). The code exhibits no concentration of solicitation activity, no repeat buyer patterns, and no primary geographic market. Business development interest should be low unless your firm manufactures or distributes grout-spreading equipment or provides specialized grout-spreading services to state and local contractors — in which case this code does not yet surface relevant procurement volume.
