UNSPSC 20121304: Gravel pack systems

UNSPSC 20121304 Gravel pack systems (Commodity) encompasses refrigerant recovery and gas extraction services from appliances and equipment, based on recent state and local solicitations. State and local governments buy EPA-certified refrigerant reclamation work — extraction, documentation, and disposal or recycling of refrigerants (Freon, mixed gas, refrigerant) from HVAC units, appliances, and other equipment undergoing retirement or sustainability initiatives. Issuers include municipal environmental and general services divisions and cooperative purchasing vehicles serving multiple jurisdictions. Work typically requires EPA certification for technicians and equipment, comprehensive record-keeping of gas recovery and destruction, and compliance with federal environmental regulations.

Recent activity is sparse under this code. 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 a response deadline of September 19, 2024, and a one-year initial term with up to four one-year renewals. A second opportunity from May 2026 — Sourcewell RFP #061626 for law enforcement equipment with a response date of June 16, 2026 — is listed under this code but represents a mismatch; that solicitation concerns police and security gear, not refrigerant recovery. The code shows minimal recent state and local procurement activity, with only one geographically relevant opportunity in Arizona.
