UNSPSC 20100000: Mining and quarrying machinery and equipment

UNSPSC 20100000 Mining and quarrying machinery and equipment, a Family code, encompasses equipment and services for extracting, processing, and managing materials from mining and quarrying operations — though state and local procurement activity under this code focuses narrowly on specialized gas extraction and refrigerant recovery services rather than traditional mining equipment. The issuing bodies soliciting under this code include municipal environmental and sustainability divisions, which use it to tag procurements for EPA-certified refrigerant reclamation and gas extraction work. The scope centers on technical environmental services: EPA-certified contractors performing bulk refrigerant extraction from collected appliances and products, recovery documentation, gas recycling or destruction, and related labor services at variable hourly rates for standard, after-hours, and holiday work windows.

The City of Tucson Environmental and General Services Division recently posted RFP No. 240011 for Gas Extraction and Removal services at the Los Reales Sustainability Campus in Pima County, Arizona, with a response deadline of September 19, 2024. The procurement seeks an EPA-certified refrigerant reclaimer capable of extracting gases from approximately 50 units per week on a recurring basis (minimum extraction every two weeks), with an initial contract term of one year and up to four additional one-year renewal options. The RFP includes pricing structures for extracting Freon, mixed gas, and refrigerant alongside tiered labor rates for general operating hours, after-hours work, and holiday service. A pre-submittal conference was scheduled for March 19, 2024, via Microsoft Teams. The contract references Federal Transit Administration Terms and Conditions, signaling potential DBE participation provisions. Recent state and local activity under this code remains sparse; the Tucson opportunity represents the primary documented solicitation in the available dataset.
