UNSPSC 20121317: Sand control slurry blending units

UNSPSC 20121317 Sand control slurry blending units is a Commodity code that in recent state and local procurement activity encompasses environmental equipment and services for gas extraction, refrigerant recovery, and hazardous-material handling rather than traditional sand-control blending units as the code name suggests. The City of Tucson Environmental and General Services Division solicited EPA-certified refrigerant reclaimer services to extract refrigerant gases from approximately 50 appliance units per week at the Los Reales Sustainability Campus, requiring EPA-approved recovery equipment, certified technicians, and comprehensive documentation of gas destruction or recycling. The issuing bodies tagging opportunities under this code include municipal environmental divisions and cooperative purchasing consortia that serve state and local governments, counties, and special-purpose districts.

Recent activity under the code is sparse and geographically limited. The City of Tucson's RFP No. 240011 for Gas Extraction and Removal (response deadline September 19, 2024) represents the primary recent opportunity, with a one-year contract term and up to four additional one-year renewals; the RFP included line-item pricing for Freon, mixed gas, and refrigerant extraction with variable labor rates for standard, after-hours, and holiday work. A second opportunity, Sourcewell RFP #061626 for Law Enforcement Equipment (response deadline June 16, 2026), appears unrelated to the sand-control or refrigerant-recovery scope and likely reflects a tagging mismatch rather than genuine commodity activity under this code. Arizona represents the only clear jurisdiction with recent relevant activity; no other states show documented procurement under this code tier in the provided opportunities.
