UNSPSC 20121712: Casing patch parts and accessories

Parts and accessories used in patching of casing.

UNSPSC 20121712 Casing patch parts and accessories is a Commodity code that in recent state and local solicitations covers refrigerant extraction, recovery, and documentation services for appliances and HVAC equipment. State and local government buyers under this code include municipal environmental divisions and cooperative purchasing vehicles serving counties and regional jurisdictions. The City of Tucson Environmental and General Services Division has solicited EPA-certified refrigerant reclaimers to extract gases from approximately 50 units per week at its Los Reales Sustainability Campus, with work including extraction, documentation of gas destruction or recycling, and compliance with EPA regulations and record-keeping requirements. Service scope encompasses labor at standard hourly rates as well as after-hours and holiday rates, with extraction required at minimum every two weeks over an initial one-year term with options for up to four additional one-year renewals. A separate recent Sourcewell cooperative purchasing RFP (#061626) for law enforcement equipment does not align with this code's refrigerant and casing-patch scope and appears to be a classification mismatch.

Recent activity is concentrated in the Southwest, with the Tucson opportunity representing the only clearly relevant solicitation in the available record. The City of Tucson RFP No. 240011 was posted September 30, 2026, with a response deadline of September 19, 2024, and includes a pre-submittal conference scheduled for March 19, 2024. The procurement applies Federal Transit Administration terms and conditions and references disadvantaged business enterprise participation provisions, though specific set-aside designations are not explicitly detailed. Qualified vendors must hold EPA certification and demonstrate technical expertise in refrigerant handling and environmental compliance. The code shows limited recent state and local procurement activity in the available opportunities block.
