UNSPSC 20121521: Downhole shock absorber parts and accessories

Parts and accessories for an apparatus that absorbs shock downhole in a wellbore. The kinetic energy from a moving tool is absorbed to dissipate such energy, to decelerate the moving tool, or to prevent impact damage from contact between the tool and other downhole components.

UNSPSC 20121521 Downhole shock absorber parts and accessories is a Commodity code that in recent state and local practice encompasses refrigerant extraction, recovery, and documentation services for EPA-certified environmental compliance work. The code shows minimal recent activity, with posted opportunities spanning unrelated scope — one opportunity addresses EPA-certified refrigerant reclamation at a municipal sustainability campus, while a second opportunity under the same code covers law enforcement equipment procurement through a cooperative purchasing vehicle, plainly outside the nominal downhole equipment domain. The refrigerant-recovery work represents the only solicitation aligned with the code's stated scope, and it reflects demand for specialized environmental services rather than equipment parts or accessories as the code name suggests.

The City of Tucson Environmental and General Services Division issued RFP No. 240011 for Gas Extraction and Removal services in September 2026, seeking an EPA-certified refrigerant reclaimer to extract gases from approximately 50 units per week at the Los Reales Sustainability Campus, with extraction required at minimum every two weeks and comprehensive documentation of gas destruction or recycling. The contract term is one year with potential for up to four additional one-year renewals. The solicitation includes a pre-submittal conference and pricing structure with line items for removing Freon, mixed gas, and refrigerant, plus hourly labor rates for general operating hours, after-hours work, and holiday rates. The law enforcement equipment RFP issued by Sourcewell (a Minnesota cooperative purchasing vehicle) on behalf of participating entities in Washington and beyond, with a June 16, 2026 response date, does not represent genuine activity under this code. Geographic activity is limited to Arizona based on current records, with no other recent state or local opportunities evident under this Commodity code.
