UNSPSC 20121115: Oilfield cementing tools

UNSPSC 20121115 Oilfield cementing tools is a Commodity code that in recent state and local procurement activity covers environmental gas extraction and refrigerant recovery services rather than cementing equipment — the posted opportunities show state and municipal agencies soliciting EPA-certified refrigerant reclaimers to extract and document gases from appliances and equipment collections. The work involves specialized technical services including gas extraction, destruction or recycling documentation, recovery equipment operation, and technician certification rather than physical tools or equipment manufacture.

State and local issuing bodies using this code include city environmental divisions and cooperative purchasing consortia; the City of Tucson Environmental and General Services Division posted RFP No. 240011 for gas extraction and removal services at the Los Reales Sustainability Campus on September 30, 2026, with response due September 19, 2024, seeking an EPA-certified contractor to extract refrigerant from approximately 50 units per week with pricing structured for Freon, mixed gas, and refrigerant removal plus hourly labor rates for general, after-hours, and holiday service. A second opportunity, Sourcewell RFP No. 061626 posted May 12, 2026, with response due June 16, 2026, nominally addresses law enforcement equipment but appears mistagged to this code and carries no direct relevance to oilfield cementing or gas extraction. Recent activity centers on Arizona municipal procurement; the code shows limited demonstrated state and local purchasing volume, with the Tucson opportunity representing the primary concrete example of actual buying under the code's current classification.
