UNSPSC 20111700: Drilling and operation accessories

UNSPSC 20111700 Drilling and operation accessories is a Class code that state and local governments use to procure environmental remediation services, particularly EPA-certified refrigerant recovery and gas extraction from appliances and equipment at municipal facilities. The scope of work under this code includes extraction, documentation, and proper disposal or recycling of refrigerants and gases (Freon, mixed gas, refrigerant) from collected products, with service requirements typically mandating extraction cycles of every two weeks or more frequent intervals. Issuing bodies include municipal environmental departments and divisions, as well as cooperative purchasing vehicles such as Sourcewell (a Minnesota local government unit and service cooperative) that aggregate procurement demand across multiple counties and jurisdictions. Contract structures typically run one year with renewal options and include tiered pricing for standard and after-hours labor, reflecting the operational complexity of certified gas extraction work.

The recent opportunities block shows activity centered in the Southwest and Pacific Northwest. The City of Tucson Environmental and General Services Division posted RFP 240011 for Gas Extraction and Removal services at the Los Reales Sustainability Campus, with proposals due September 19, 2024, requiring EPA certification and documented gas recovery from approximately 50 units per week. Sourcewell issued RFP 061626 on behalf of participating Washington state counties (Franklin, Grant, Grays Harbor, Chelan, Yakima) and thousands of other public entities across the United States and Canada for Law Enforcement Equipment, with proposals due June 16, 2026 through the Sourcewell Procurement Portal. The Sourcewell vehicle suggests this code may also capture equipment and accessories supporting law enforcement operations, though the primary recent municipal activity centers on environmental remediation and refrigerant recovery compliance.
