UNSPSC 20121006: Acidizing ball injectors

UNSPSC 20121006 Acidizing ball injectors (Commodity) encompasses EPA-certified refrigerant extraction and reclamation services that state and local governments procure for environmental compliance and asset recovery at municipal facilities. The City of Tucson Environmental and General Services Division recently solicited this work through RFP 240011 for Gas Extraction and Removal services at the Los Reales Sustainability Campus, seeking a contractor capable of extracting refrigerant gases from approximately 50 units per week with extraction cycles occurring at minimum every two weeks. The scope includes EPA-regulated gas destruction or recycling documentation, EPA-approved recovery equipment operation, certified technician deployment, and comprehensive record maintenance. Issuing bodies under this code include city environmental and general services divisions engaged in sustainable asset management and waste recovery operations at municipal facilities.

The City of Tucson represents the primary recent activity under this code in the Southwest. RFP 240011 closed on September 19, 2024, with a pre-submittal conference scheduled for March 19, 2024, via Microsoft Teams; the initial contract term is one year with up to four additional one-year renewals. The procurement structure includes tiered pricing for refrigerant types (Freon, mixed gas, and refrigerant) and labor rates differentiated by operating hours, after-hours work, and holiday service. While the source shows limited recent opportunities, the code reflects narrow but active state and local demand for specialized environmental services where municipalities manage compliance-intensive gas recovery operations tied to Federal Transit Administration terms and DBE participation provisions.
