UNSPSC 20121310: Sand control bulk liquid equipment

UNSPSC 20121310 Sand control bulk liquid equipment is a Commodity code that encompasses EPA-certified refrigerant reclamation and gas extraction services for municipal and public-sector facilities. State and local governments procure under this code for specialized environmental services involving the safe extraction, documentation, and disposal or recycling of refrigerants and other gases from collected appliances, HVAC equipment, and industrial products. The work requires EPA certification, technical expertise in recovery equipment operation, comprehensive record-keeping of gas management, and compliance with federal environmental regulations. Issuing bodies include municipal environmental and general services divisions, counties, and cooperative purchasing consortia serving multi-jurisdictional public entities including transit authorities and special-purpose districts.

Recent activity shows the City of Tucson Environmental and General Services Division issuing RFP 240011 for Gas Extraction and Removal services at the Los Reales Sustainability Campus, with a response date of September 19, 2024, and contract terms of one year with up to four optional one-year renewals. The procurement seeks an EPA-certified refrigerant reclaimer capable of extracting gases from approximately 50 units per week on a minimum bi-weekly schedule, with detailed documentation of gas destruction or recycling required. Sourcewell, a Minnesota cooperative purchasing vehicle, issued RFP 061626 for Law Enforcement Equipment on May 12, 2026, with a June 16, 2026 response deadline; while nominally tagged to this code, the law enforcement equipment solicitation does not appear directly aligned with sand control bulk liquid equipment procurement. Geographic activity centers on Arizona (Tucson) and Washington state (Franklin, Grant, Grays Harbor, Chelan, and Yakima counties through Sourcewell's multi-state framework). The code shows limited and functionally specialized recent activity focused on environmental compliance services rather than broad sand control equipment procurement.
