UNSPSC 20121407: Control line protectors

UNSPSC 20121407 Control line protectors is a Commodity code that in recent state and local activity encompasses EPA-certified refrigerant recovery and gas extraction services from appliances and equipment. The City of Tucson Environmental and General Services Division (EGSD) solicited this work through an RFP for gas extraction and removal at its Los Reales Sustainability Campus, seeking an EPA-certified refrigerant reclaimer to extract gases from approximately 50 units per week at minimum every two weeks. The scope includes extraction of Freon, mixed gas, and refrigerant with comprehensive documentation of gas destruction or recycling, EPA-compliant recovery equipment operation, and certified technician labor. The contract structure accommodates variable extraction volumes and service times, with separate hourly rates for standard operating hours, after-hours work, and holiday rates. Issuing bodies under this code appear limited to municipal environmental and sustainability divisions focused on proper hazardous-gas handling and regulatory compliance.

The City of Tucson, Arizona represents the primary recent activity identified. The RFP No. 240011 (issued September 30, 2026) required proposals by September 19, 2024, at 2:00 P.M. Arizona time, with a pre-submittal conference scheduled for March 19, 2024, via Microsoft Teams. The initial contract term runs one year with up to four additional one-year renewals. The solicitation references Federal Transit Administration Terms and Conditions, indicating potential DBE participation considerations. No incumbent vendor is named. The code shows limited recent state and local procurement activity; the single sourced opportunity represents municipal environmental services procurement in the Southwest, and the apparent mismatch between the code's nominal scope (control line protectors) and the actual work being bought (gas extraction services) suggests this code may see sparse relevant activity in state and local contracting.
