UNSPSC 20121307: Make up subs

UNSPSC 20121307 Make up subs, a Commodity code, covers EPA-certified refrigerant reclamation and gas extraction services that state and local governments procure to manage coolants and refrigerants removed from appliances and equipment. The City of Tucson Environmental and General Services Division recently solicited gas extraction services for its Los Reales Sustainability Campus, indicating that municipalities use this code to contract with specialized environmental compliance vendors who recover, document, and either recycle or destroy extracted refrigerants and mixed gases from collected products. The work requires EPA certification, compliance with federal environmental regulations, certified technician staff, use of EPA-approved recovery equipment, and detailed record-keeping of gas destruction or recycling. The sourcing bodies engaging this code include municipal environmental and sustainability departments operating collection and processing facilities.

The City of Tucson RFP No. 240011, posted September 30, 2026, with an original response deadline of September 19, 2024, is the primary recent opportunity in the source. The City sought an EPA-certified refrigerant reclaimer to extract gases from approximately 50 units per week on a bi-weekly extraction schedule, with a one-year initial term and up to four additional one-year renewals. The RFP included a pre-submittal conference on March 19, 2024, and required pricing line items for Freon, mixed gas, and refrigerant extraction along with labor rates for general, after-hours, and holiday work. The procurement references Federal Transit Administration Terms and Conditions, suggesting DBE participation provisions may apply. The recent-opportunities block contains only this single solicitation, and the source does not support characterization of geographic spread or repeat buyer patterns across multiple jurisdictions.
