UNSPSC 20122311: Slickline collar locators

UNSPSC 20122311 Slickline collar locators is a Commodity code that in recent state and local procurement activity encompasses refrigerant recovery and gas extraction equipment and services rather than wireline tools. The City of Tucson Environmental and General Services Division issued RFP No. 240011 for Gas Extraction and Removal services, seeking EPA-certified refrigerant reclaimers to extract gases from approximately 50 appliance units per week at its Los Reales Sustainability Campus, with extraction required at minimum every two weeks and comprehensive documentation of gas destruction or recycling. The work involves EPA-approved recovery equipment, certified technician labor, and compliance with federal environmental regulations. A second recent opportunity—Sourcewell RFP No. 061626 for Law Enforcement Equipment—appears to be mistagged under this code and does not align with the refrigerant recovery or equipment scope.

The issuing-body mix in recent activity is dominated by municipal environmental and sustainability departments, specifically the City of Tucson's EGSD division. Geographic activity centers on the Southwest, with the Tucson opportunity anchoring current visibility under the code. The Tucson RFP required proposal submission by September 19, 2024, at 2:00 P.M. Arizona time, with a pre-submittal conference scheduled for March 19, 2024, via Microsoft Teams; the initial contract term runs one year with up to four additional one-year renewals. Pricing includes line items for Freon, mixed gas, and refrigerant extraction as well as hourly labor rates for general operating hours, after-hours work, and holiday rates. The RFP references FTA Terms and Conditions and typically includes DBE participation provisions. No specific budget range is stated in available documentation, and no incumbent vendors are named. Firms must demonstrate EPA certification, technical expertise in appliance gas extraction, and the ability to maintain detailed recovery and destruction records.
