UNSPSC 20121400: Completion tools and equipment

UNSPSC 20121400 Completion tools and equipment, a Class code, encompasses gas extraction and refrigerant recovery services that state and local governments procure for managing hazardous materials removed from appliances and mechanical systems. The scope extends to EPA-certified refrigerant-reclamation work, including the extraction, documentation, and disposal or recycling of refrigerants such as Freon and mixed gases recovered from collected units. Issuing bodies soliciting under this code include municipal environmental and sustainability divisions managing centralized collection and processing facilities. Work is performed on a recurring service basis — typically on a weekly or biweekly extraction schedule — with contractors required to maintain comprehensive records of gas recovery, employ EPA-certified technicians, and utilize EPA-approved recovery equipment to ensure compliance with environmental regulations.

The City of Tucson Environmental and General Services Division issued RFP No. 240011 in September 2026 for Gas Extraction and Removal services at the Los Reales Sustainability Campus, seeking an EPA-certified refrigerant reclaimer to extract gases from approximately 50 units per week, with extraction required at minimum every two weeks. The contract runs for an initial one-year term with potential for four additional one-year renewals and includes a tiered pricing structure with line items for removing Freon, mixed gas, and refrigerant as well as labor rates for general operating hours, after-hours work, and holiday rates. The solicitation references Federal Transit Administration Terms and Conditions, which typically include DBE participation provisions. Activity under this code remains limited; the single recent opportunity identified is concentrated in Arizona and reflects municipal-level focus on sustainable asset recovery and environmental compliance at collection facilities.
