UNSPSC 20121419: Packer running tools

UNSPSC 20121419 Packer running tools is a Commodity code that captures equipment and services for gas extraction and refrigerant recovery from appliances and HVAC systems in municipal sustainability and facility management operations. State and local governments procure under this code primarily through environmental services divisions and facility management departments seeking EPA-certified refrigerant reclaimers to extract and document the destruction or recycling of refrigerants in compliance with federal environmental regulations. The work centers on scheduled extraction services, regulatory compliance documentation, and proper handling of controlled substances — activities driven by municipal sustainability mandates and the need to manage end-of-life appliance disposal responsibly. Issuing bodies include city environmental and general services divisions as primary buyers, alongside county governments and special-purpose districts participating in cooperative purchasing agreements that bundle law enforcement and facility management categories.

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 frequency of at minimum every two weeks; the response date was September 19, 2024, with a one-year initial term and up to four one-year renewals. Sourcewell, acting on behalf of multiple Washington state counties including Franklin, Grant, Grays Harbor, Chelan, and Yakima, posted RFP #061626 in May 2026 for law enforcement equipment as a cooperative purchasing vehicle available to thousands of public entities nationwide, due June 16, 2026 — though this opportunity appears tangential to the packer running tools code and reflects a data-tagging mismatch rather than direct market activity under the Commodity. Recent state and local procurement under this code shows limited but targeted activity concentrated in the Southwest, with Arizona and Washington state represented in the available opportunities.
