UNSPSC 12142102: Chlorinated mixed gases

UNSPSC 12142102 Chlorinated mixed gases is a Commodity code that encompasses industrial and specialty gases—including welding gases, oxygen, nitrogen, argon, acetylene, and inert gas mixtures—that state and local governments procure for emergency medical services, facility operations, transit maintenance, and departmental welding and cutting operations. The code captures both bulk industrial gas supplies with tank rental and mobilization services and smaller-volume cylinder leases with refill services. Recent solicitations show issuing bodies spanning county emergency medical services, municipal utility operators, transit authorities, state departments of transportation, state correctional facilities, county facilities departments, and public colleges. Collier County Emergency Medical Services, the City of Tampa, and the Dallas Area Rapid Transit Authority (DART) appear as repeat or high-volume purchasers within recent postings.

Activity is concentrated in Florida, Texas, and the broader South and Midwest. Recent representative opportunities include Collier County Emergency Medical Services' Quick Quote for removal and installation of four oxygen cascade systems across emergency stations (Solicitation QQ2026157, due October 15, 2026), the City of Tampa's WTE Facility Compressed Gases solicitation covering industrial gases and EPA calibration gases with a one-year contract term and up to four renewals (Solicitation 25-P-00349, with an estimated contract value of approximately $120,000 and SBE and U-WMBE bid discounts), the Dallas Area Rapid Transit Authority's blanket purchase order for welding and inert gases serving bus and rail maintenance operations with a mandatory site visit requirement (Solicitation REQ2098359, due June 2, 2026), and Palm Beach County's term contract RFQ for welding gases and accessories with SBE preference and local-business preference (RFQ 26-0209-RR, due October 20, 2026). The City of Austin, Jacksonville Correctional Center (Illinois Department of Corrections), Collin College, Jackson County Missouri, and the Washington State Department of Transportation have also posted under the code. Set-asides and preferences—including SBE, U-WMBE, SLBE, and local-business preferences—appear in multiple solicitations, particularly in Florida and Texas jurisdictions.
