UNSPSC 20121805: Straight hole directional drilling tools

UNSPSC 20121805 Straight hole directional drilling tools is a Commodity code that in recent state and local procurement covers EPA-certified refrigerant recovery and reclamation services for appliances and HVAC equipment. The work involves extracting and documenting the destruction or recycling of refrigerants—including Freon, mixed gases, and other refrigerants—from municipal equipment collections, with technicians required to hold proper EPA certification and maintain detailed compliance records. Issuing bodies under this code include municipal environmental and general services divisions pursuing specialized environmental compliance contracting.

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 weekly at the Los Reales Sustainability Campus, with extraction cycles required at minimum every two weeks. The contract carried a one-year initial term with potential for up to four additional one-year renewals, and the solicitation referenced Federal Transit Administration terms and conditions with provisions for disadvantaged business enterprise participation. The proposal due date was September 19, 2024, at 2:00 p.m. Arizona time, with evaluation focused on technical capabilities, EPA compliance, and documented ability to handle varying extraction volumes and service times including after-hours and holiday rates. A separate cooperative procurement issued by Sourcewell on behalf of participating entities in Washington and Minnesota counties (Franklin, Grant, Grays Harbor, Chelan, and Yakima) included a Law Enforcement Equipment RFP (No. 061626) due June 16, 2026, though that solicitation appears unrelated to the code's core refrigerant recovery scope and signals limited relevant recent activity under this Commodity code.
