UNSPSC 20101507: Rotary cutters

A machine which produces material for rotating a log longitudinally against a blade.

UNSPSC 20101507 Rotary cutters, a Commodity code, reflects state and local procurement of EPA-certified refrigerant recovery and extraction services, not mechanical cutting equipment. The work actually being solicited under this code involves extracting refrigerants and other gases from appliances and products collected at municipal sustainability facilities, documenting gas destruction or recycling compliance, and maintaining detailed records of recovery operations. Issuing bodies soliciting under the code include municipal environmental and general services divisions, which handle waste management and sustainability operations at the city level. The contractor must hold EPA certification for refrigerant reclamation and ensure all technicians performing extraction work are properly certified as well.

The City of Tucson Environmental and General Services Division posted RFP No. 240011 in September 2026 for gas extraction and removal services at the Los Reales Sustainability Campus, with a pre-submittal conference scheduled for March 19, 2024, and final proposals due September 19, 2024. The contract calls for extraction from approximately 50 units per week at minimum every two weeks, with pricing structured by refrigerant type (Freon, mixed gas, refrigerant) and labor rates for standard operating hours, after-hours, and holiday work. The initial term runs one year with potential for four additional one-year renewals. The solicitation references Federal Transit Administration terms and conditions, which typically include DBE participation provisions, though explicit set-aside designations are not detailed in the documentation.
