UNSPSC 20121302: Floaters

UNSPSC 20121302 Floaters, a Commodity code, encompasses EPA-certified refrigerant recovery and gas extraction services that state and local governments procure for appliance and equipment recycling programs. The City of Tucson Environmental and General Services Division solicited this work via RFP No. 240011, 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 work demands EPA certification, approved recovery equipment, certified technicians, and detailed record-keeping of all gas recovery operations. Pricing is structured by refrigerant type (Freon, mixed gas, refrigerant) and service timing (regular operating hours, after-hours, holiday rates), with the initial contract term one year and up to four additional one-year renewals available.

The code shows sparse recent activity at the state and local level; the single identified opportunity is in Arizona, posted by the City of Tucson in Pima County. The RFP included a pre-submittal conference scheduled for March 19, 2024, with final proposals due September 19, 2024, at 2:00 P.M. Arizona time. The procurement references Federal Transit Administration terms and conditions, suggesting potential DBE participation provisions, though specific set-aside designations were not detailed. No incumbent vendors were identified in the available documentation.
