UNSPSC 20111617: Drilling carriages

UNSPSC 20111617 Drilling carriages is a Commodity code that appears to capture specialized extraction and removal equipment used in environmental remediation and sustainability operations. State and local governments solicit under this code for EPA-certified refrigerant recovery services and law enforcement equipment procurement, though the recent opportunities show limited direct alignment with the code's nominal scope. The City of Tucson Environmental and General Services Division issued RFP 240011 for gas extraction and removal services—specifically EPA-certified refrigerant reclaimer services to extract refrigerant gases from approximately 50 appliance units per week at the Los Reales Sustainability Campus, with extraction required at minimum every two weeks, comprehensive documentation of gas destruction or recycling, and properly certified technicians. The solicitation references Federal Transit Administration terms and conditions, which typically include disadvantaged business enterprise participation provisions. The issuing bodies on recent activity are limited; the sample shows a city environmental department (Tucson) and a state-based cooperative procurement entity (Sourcewell) operating on behalf of multiple participating counties and jurisdictions across the United States and Canada.

Geographic activity centers on Arizona and the Pacific Northwest, with Tucson's sustainability initiative in Pima County and Sourcewell's cooperative representing participating entities in Franklin, Grant, Grays Harbor, Chelan, and Yakima Counties in Washington State, plus broader national and Canadian coverage. The City of Tucson's RFP 240011 closed June 16, 2026, seeking gas extraction and removal services with a one-year initial term and up to four additional one-year renewals, with pricing structured around line items for Freon, mixed gas, and refrigerant extraction plus hourly labor rates for general, after-hours, and holiday work. Sourcewell RFP 061626 for law enforcement equipment closed June 16, 2026, and is designed to establish a contracting solution available to thousands of governmental agencies, school districts, and public entities, submitted exclusively through the Sourcewell Procurement Portal. The code shows sparse recent activity overall; the law enforcement equipment opportunity appears misaligned with the drilling carriages taxonomy, suggesting limited active procurement under this specific Commodity code in the current cycle.
