NIGP 54512: Compressors, Gas (All Types)

NIGP 54512 Compressors, Gas (All Types), an Item code, covers EPA-certified refrigerant recovery and gas extraction equipment and services procured by state and local jurisdictions for environmental compliance and sustainability operations. State and local governments buy under this code primarily refrigerant reclamation services—extraction, recovery, documentation, and destruction or recycling of refrigerants from retired appliances and HVAC units—along with the specialized equipment and technician labor required to perform EPA-compliant gas recovery. Issuing bodies include municipal environmental and general services divisions and county fire rescue departments procuring operational supplies including gas extraction and handling consumables. The work spans environmental sustainability initiatives at municipal campuses and routine operational support for large-scale county public safety operations.

Recent activity centers in Arizona and Florida. The City of Tucson Environmental and General Services Division issued RFP No. 240011 for Gas Extraction and Removal services at the Los Reales Sustainability Campus, seeking an EPA-certified refrigerant reclaimer to extract gases from approximately 50 units per week with extraction required at minimum every two weeks; proposals were due September 19, 2024, with an initial one-year contract term and up to four additional one-year renewals.
