UNSPSC 20121325: Slotted pipe pattern

A template for placing slots through the wall of a metal pipe in a helical pattern. Used in sand control operations.

UNSPSC 20121325 Slotted pipe pattern is a Commodity code that in recent state and local procurement activity covers EPA-certified refrigerant recovery and gas extraction services from appliances and collected products, rather than the physical pipe components the code name suggests. The City of Tucson Environmental and General Services Division (EGSD) represents the primary recent issuing body under this code, soliciting specialized environmental remediation and hazardous-materials handling work. The scope involves extracting refrigerants and gases from approximately 50 units per week on a recurring basis—minimum extraction every two weeks—with EPA certification, approved recovery equipment, certified technicians, and comprehensive documentation of gas destruction or recycling as mandatory qualifications. Pricing is structured with line items for specific refrigerant types (Freon, mixed gas, standard refrigerant) and labor rates varying by time of service (standard hours, after-hours, holidays), suggesting a task-order or unit-rate contracting model tied to extraction volume and service frequency.

The City of Tucson RFP No. 240011, posted September 30, 2026 with a response deadline of September 19, 2024, represents the only recent opportunity in the source block and reflects municipal environmental sustainability infrastructure focused on the Los Reales Sustainability Campus. The contract includes a one-year initial term with up to four one-year renewal options and references Federal Transit Administration terms and conditions, indicating potential DBE participation provisions. A pre-submittal conference was scheduled for March 19, 2024 via Microsoft Teams. Geographic activity is limited in the source to Arizona (Pima County / City of Tucson). The code shows sparse recent state and local activity overall; this single Tucson opportunity dominates the visible pipeline, and the mismatch between the nominal code name (slotted pipe pattern) and the actual work being bought (environmental gas extraction services) suggests either a classification outlier or limited broader use of this code across state and local procurement.
