UNSPSC 20121900: Well measurement and logging equipment

UNSPSC 20121900 Well measurement and logging equipment is a Class code that in recent state and local procurement encompasses equipment and services for extracting, recovering, and testing gases and fluids from wells, appliances, and environmental collection systems. The issuing bodies soliciting under this code span municipal environmental divisions, state environmental services agencies, and cooperative purchasing vehicles serving multiple counties and jurisdictions. Work ranges from EPA-certified refrigerant recovery and gas extraction from collected appliances to potable water well drilling, construction, and comprehensive testing including step-drawdown and constant-rate pumping tests with detailed water quality laboratory analysis. Contractors are typically required to hold relevant environmental certifications, maintain comprehensive documentation of recovery or destruction processes, and comply with federal and state environmental regulations.

Recent activity appears concentrated in the Southwest and Mid-Atlantic regions. The City of Tucson Environmental and General Services Division issued RFP 240011 for Gas Extraction and Removal services at the Los Reales Sustainability Campus, seeking an EPA-certified refrigerant reclaimer capable of extracting gases from approximately 50 units per week with biweekly extraction cycles, response due September 19, 2024, with contract terms of one year plus up to four one-year renewals. The Maryland Environmental Service issued competitive sealed bid IFB 1-26-2-56-5 for Camp Fretterd Military Reservation potable water production well drilling including 10-inch bore hole drilling to 300 feet, 6-inch casing installation, step-drawdown and constant-rate pumping tests, and water quality laboratory testing, with a mandatory pre-bid conference on May 22, 2026 and bid submission deadline of June 12, 2026, including a 5% MBE subcontract participation goal and 120-calendar-day performance deadline with liquidated damages of $1,264.00 per day for delays. A third opportunity through Sourcewell (RFP 061626) posted May 12, 2026 for Law Enforcement Equipment represents cooperative purchasing across Washington counties and broader public entities, though this opportunity appears misaligned with the code's nominal scope of well measurement and gas extraction equipment.
