UNSPSC 20102300: Underground mining service vehicles

UNSPSC 20102300 Underground mining service vehicles is a Class code that in state and local procurement actually encompasses environmental remediation and gas extraction services rather than mining equipment. The City of Tucson Environmental and General Services Division solicited this work through an RFP for EPA-certified refrigerant reclamation services, requiring extraction of refrigerant gases from collected appliances and units at a municipal sustainability campus. State and local governments use this code to procure specialized environmental compliance services including refrigerant recovery, gas extraction documentation, and destruction or recycling certification — work that demands EPA certification, trained technicians, and detailed record-keeping tied to federal environmental regulations. Issuing bodies appear limited in the recent record to municipal environmental divisions and sustainability-focused city departments, with Tucson's EGSD representing the visible buyer under this code at the local government level.

The City of Tucson's RFP No. 240011 for Gas Extraction and Removal, posted September 30, 2026, with a response deadline of September 19, 2024, represents the primary recent opportunity under this code. The contract calls for extraction of gases from approximately 50 units per week with a minimum frequency of every two weeks, an initial one-year term with up to four one-year renewal options, and pricing structured around line items for Freon, mixed gas, and refrigerant extraction plus tiered labor rates for standard, after-hours, and holiday work. A pre-submittal conference is scheduled for March 19, 2024, via Microsoft Teams. The procurement is situated in Pima County, Arizona, and references Federal Transit Administration DBE provisions, suggesting potential set-aside considerations. Geographic activity appears concentrated in Arizona based on the current posting, though the narrow recent-opportunity sample limits broader regional characterization.
