OK. That means your passport was printed in Tucson (one of the two big US passport printing plants -- the other is in Hot Springs, Arkansas). But some US passports are printed elsewhere. If you have a record of any of the online status queries you made, the query returns your locator number. Look for it in the status message. The first two digits tell you in which office your application was examined and approved. Since yours was a renewal application, I believe your old passport will be mailed back to you from that office.
