UNSPSC 72151908: Refractory or acid brick masonry service

The laying, repair and maintenance of acid or refractory bricks on property owned by others

UNSPSC 72151908 Refractory or acid brick masonry service, a Commodity code, encompasses brick replacement, tuck-pointing, sealer application, and masonry wall remediation work that state and local governments procure as part of broader facility renovation, rehabilitation, and infrastructure improvement projects. Rather than standalone refractory-material contracting, the code in practice captures masonry repair and restoration components embedded in larger capital construction and maintenance contracts across public facilities—buildings, utility infrastructure, cemeteries, and recreational parks.

State agencies, counties, municipalities, and public authorities issue solicitations under this code. The recent activity spans water authorities (Macon Water Authority wall remediation, including brick replacement and tuck-pointing), community colleges (Wenatchee Valley College, Big Bend Community College, South Seattle College remodels), regional hospitals and medical centers (Santa Clara Valley Medical Center, O'Connor Hospital, Saint Louise Regional Hospital seismic projects incorporating masonry anchorage and bracing), departments of corrections and juvenile justice (Washington DOC shower repair, Georgia Department of Juvenile Justice interior renovations), park and recreation departments (Dallas Park and Recreation, City of Milton, Boulder County Parks), and school districts (Savannah-Chatham County Public School System on-call construction). Santa Clara County has issued multiple seismic compliance prequalification and design-build solicitations incorporating masonry structural upgrades; Georgia State Financing and Investment Commission procures on behalf of the Technical College System of Georgia for facility upgrades. Geographic distribution includes Washington, Georgia, California, Colorado, Michigan, Texas, Florida, Connecticut, and other states, with notable concentration in California (Santa Clara County medical center and hospital seismic projects) and Washington state (community college and correctional facility work). Representative recent opportunities include Macon Water Authority's 1948 Warehouse Wall Remediation (ITB due November 10, 2026) soliciting brick replacement, tuck-pointing, and breathable sealer application on masonry elevations; the City of Newnan Georgia's Eastview Cemetery Improvements (ITB due September 15, 2026) requesting 795 linear feet of random coursed rubble masonry wall with stone veneer columns; and City of Colorado Springs ITB 2664 Continuing Brick Masonry Maintenance, Repair & Installation Services (due September 23, 2026), an open-end contract for ongoing masonry work. Bonding, insurance, prevailing-wage compliance, and schedule adherence are standard contract requirements; work is frequently part of design-build, design-bid-build, or on-call prequalification vehicles where masonry represents one trade among multiple disciplines.
