UNSPSC 20111616: Derricks

UNSPSC 20111616 Derricks (Commodity) covers specialized equipment and services for gas extraction, refrigerant recovery, and environmental remediation work that state and local governments procure from certified environmental service providers. Recent solicitations show that jurisdictions are buying EPA-certified refrigerant reclamation services — extracting and documenting the destruction or recycling of gases from HVAC systems, appliances, and other equipment collected at municipal sustainability campuses and facilities. The work requires technicians holding EPA certifications, maintenance of detailed recovery records, and compliance with federal environmental regulations. Issuing bodies include city environmental divisions and special-purpose sustainability initiatives.

The City of Tucson Environmental and General Services Division (EGSD) issued RFP No. 240011 for Gas Extraction and Removal services at the Los Reales Sustainability Campus, with a response deadline of September 19, 2024, seeking an EPA-certified refrigerant reclaimer to extract gases from approximately 50 units per week on a schedule of at minimum every two weeks, with a one-year initial term and potential for up to four additional one-year renewals. The procurement is located in Pima County, Arizona. A second opportunity tagged to this code — Sourcewell RFP #061626 for Law Enforcement Equipment (due June 16, 2026) — shows little connection to derricks or gas extraction and appears to be a mislabeled cooperative purchasing vehicle spanning multiple Washington counties and national public entities; this record does not reflect genuine activity under the derricks code.
