UNSPSC 20121208: Fracturing slurry blending units

UNSPSC 20121208 Fracturing slurry blending units is a Commodity code that in recent state and local procurement activity captures EPA-certified refrigerant extraction and recovery services, not equipment manufacturing or blending operations as the code name suggests. The City of Tucson Environmental and General Services Division issued RFP No. 240011 in September 2026 seeking an EPA-certified refrigerant reclaimer to extract gases from approximately 50 units per week at the Los Reales Sustainability Campus, with extraction required at minimum every two weeks and comprehensive documentation of gas destruction or recycling. The code appears to see solicitation activity from municipal environmental divisions and sustainability-focused public entities; the Tucson opportunity represents the only recent state or local procurement activity the source identifies under this code that aligns with the nominal scope.

Activity under this code is concentrated in the Southwest, with recent solicitation originating in Arizona (Pima County / City of Tucson). The Tucson RFP (No. 240011) carries a response deadline of September 19, 2024, with a pre-submittal conference scheduled for March 19, 2024, and includes a pricing structure with line items for Freon, mixed gas, and refrigerant extraction as well as hourly labor rates for standard, after-hours, and holiday service. The initial contract term is one year with potential for up to four additional one-year renewals. A second opportunity in the source block (Sourcewell RFP No. 061626 for law enforcement equipment) does not align with this code's refrigerant or gas-extraction scope and appears to reflect a data-tagging mismatch rather than legitimate activity under UNSPSC 20121208.
