UNSPSC 20102001: In the hole drills ITH or down the hole DTH long hole drills

UNSPSC 20102001 In the hole drills ITH or down the hole DTH long hole drills is a Commodity code that, based on recent state and local procurement activity, encompasses EPA-certified refrigerant extraction and recovery services for appliances and equipment rather than the drilling equipment its nominal title suggests. The City of Tucson Environmental and General Services Division (EGSD) solicited gas extraction and removal services under this code, seeking EPA-certified refrigerant reclaimers to extract gases from approximately 50 units per week at the Los Reales Sustainability Campus. The work involves extraction compliance, documentation of gas destruction or recycling, use of EPA-approved recovery equipment, and certified technician deployment. The issuing body here is a municipal environmental division, and the contract structure—one year initial term with up to four one-year renewals—indicates sustained municipal demand for specialized environmental compliance services. Pricing is structured by extraction type (Freon, mixed gas, refrigerant) and labor rates (standard hours, after-hours, holiday), though no specific budget ceiling is stated.

The City of Tucson's RFP 240011, posted September 30, 2026, with proposals due September 19, 2024, at 2:00 P.M. Arizona time represents the only documented recent opportunity under this code. The procurement references Federal Transit Administration Terms and Conditions, suggesting DBE participation provisions apply. A pre-submittal conference was scheduled for March 19, 2024, via Microsoft Teams. No incumbent vendor is named. Geographic activity is limited to Pima County, Arizona; the sparse recent-opportunity record and the mismatch between the code's nominal scope (drilling equipment) and the work actually being bought (environmental gas recovery services) suggest this code shows minimal relevant state and local procurement momentum in its core category.
