UNSPSC 20121405: Circulation production devices

UNSPSC 20121405 Circulation production devices (Commodity) covers EPA-certified refrigerant extraction and reclamation services that municipal governments procure for environmental compliance and asset recovery at sustainability facilities. State and local buyers use this code to source specialized technicians and equipment for extracting refrigerants and other regulated gases from decommissioned HVAC units, appliances, and similar equipment before disposal or recycling. The work involves EPA-certified recovery operations, detailed documentation of gas destruction or recycling, and compliance with federal environmental regulations. Issuing bodies at the municipal level (specifically environmental and general services divisions) solicit these services to manage end-of-life refrigerant handling through structured contract vehicles that enforce certification, record-keeping, and recovery standards.

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 on a schedule of minimum every two weeks, with a one-year initial term and up to four one-year renewal options. The procurement includes a pre-submittal conference (scheduled for March 19, 2024, via Microsoft Teams) and pricing structure with line items for Freon, mixed gas, and refrigerant extraction labor at varying rates for standard, after-hours, and holiday work. The RFP references FTA Terms and Conditions, indicating potential DBE participation provisions. No recent opportunities beyond the Tucson solicitation appear in the available dataset, suggesting limited current activity under this specific code in state and local markets.
