UNSPSC 20121609: Continuous mining bit

Cutter head bit used in underground mining on continuous mining machine systems

UNSPSC 20121609 Continuous mining bit is a Commodity code whose nominal classification bears little connection to the recent state and local opportunities posted under it. The source contains two opportunities: one for EPA-certified refrigerant reclamation services (gas extraction and documentation from appliances) and one for law enforcement equipment procurement through a cooperative purchasing vehicle. Neither solicitation involves continuous mining bits or mining-related equipment. The code shows little relevant recent activity aligned with its stated scope.

The City of Tucson Environmental and General Services Division posted RFP No. 240011 on September 30, 2026, seeking an EPA-certified refrigerant reclaimer to extract gases from approximately 50 units per week at the Los Reales Sustainability Campus, with proposals due by September 19, 2024, at 2:00 p.m. Arizona time; the contract term runs one year with potential four additional one-year renewals. Sourcewell, a Minnesota local government unit and service cooperative, posted RFP #061626 on May 12, 2026, on behalf of participating counties in Washington state and other jurisdictions nationwide to establish a cooperative contracting solution for law enforcement equipment, with proposals due by June 16, 2026, at 3:30 p.m. Central Time through the Sourcewell Procurement Portal. Neither opportunity represents procurement activity within the code's nominal commodity scope.
