UNSPSC 20111717: Quick unions fitting

Quick unions fitting for flexible steel hoses connections are used to assemble lubricators and related equipment and are designed to assist rig up for well intervention operations.

UNSPSC 20111717 Quick unions fitting is a Commodity code that in recent state and local procurement activity encompasses refrigerant recovery equipment, fittings, and related components used in gas extraction and environmental remediation work. The City of Tucson Environmental and General Services Division solicited EPA-certified refrigerant reclaimer services through RFP 240011 for gas extraction at the Los Reales Sustainability Campus, requiring extraction from approximately 50 units per week with comprehensive documentation of gas destruction or recycling. The scope reflects practical procurement of environmental compliance equipment and labor rather than plumbing or mechanical fittings in their conventional sense. Issuing bodies under this code appear to include municipal environmental divisions and, based on the Sourcewell cooperative procurement framework visible in the broader opportunity stream, state and local government units purchasing through cooperative agreements. The City of Tucson represents the primary identified issuer of recent activity directly tied to quick union fittings and refrigerant extraction infrastructure.

Geographic activity centers on Arizona, specifically Pima County and the City of Tucson, where the Los Reales Sustainability Campus project drives demand for certified gas extraction services and associated equipment. The RFP 240011 response date was September 19, 2024, with a pre-submittal conference scheduled for March 19, 2024, and the initial contract term set for one year with up to four additional one-year renewals. Pricing is structured with line items for Freon, mixed gas, and refrigerant removal plus hourly labor rates for general, after-hours, and holiday work, though no specific budget ceiling was disclosed. The procurement references Federal Transit Administration (FTA) terms and conditions, typically incorporating disadvantaged business enterprise (DBE) participation provisions. Recent activity in this code is sparse; the source provides no additional opportunities beyond the Tucson solicitation directly aligned with quick union fittings and refrigerant equipment procurement.
