UNSPSC 20102005: Pneumatic horizontal development jumbos

UNSPSC 20102005 Pneumatic horizontal development jumbos is a Commodity code that in recent state and local procurement appears to cover specialized equipment and services for gas extraction and refrigerant recovery rather than mining or tunneling machinery. The City of Tucson Environmental and General Services Division solicited RFP No. 240011 for EPA-certified refrigerant reclamation services, seeking extraction from approximately 50 units per week at the Los Reales Sustainability Campus. The work involves extracting refrigerants (Freon, mixed gas, and other refrigerants) from collected appliances and products, maintaining comprehensive documentation of gas recovery and destruction or recycling, and ensuring all technicians performing extraction hold proper EPA certifications. The contractor must utilize EPA-approved recovery equipment and comply with all Environmental Protection Agency regulations. The contract structure includes line-item pricing for different refrigerant types and tiered labor rates for general operating hours, after-hours work, and holiday service, reflecting flexibility in extraction volume and service timing.

The code shows limited recent activity in state and local procurement, with the single documented opportunity coming from Arizona. The City of Tucson issued the RFP with a pre-submittal conference scheduled for March 19, 2024, and final proposals due September 19, 2024. The contract term is one year with potential for up to four additional one-year renewals. The solicitation references Federal Transit Administration terms and conditions, which typically include DBE participation provisions, though specific set-aside designations are not detailed in the available documentation. No incumbent vendor is named. The narrow scope of recent activity under this code suggests limited current procurement volume in state and local markets for this commodity classification.
