UNSPSC 20122317: Slickline dipmeter tools

UNSPSC 20122317 Slickline dipmeter tools is a Commodity code that in practice encompasses environmental remediation equipment and services rather than oil and gas logging instruments. State and local governments buying under this code are primarily municipalities and environmental agencies procuring EPA-certified refrigerant recovery and gas extraction services for appliance and product lifecycle management. The City of Tucson's procurement of refrigerant reclamation services—requiring EPA certification, bi-weekly extraction cycles, and documented gas destruction or recycling—represents the primary recent activity under the code. Issuing bodies include municipal environmental divisions and, in some cases, cooperative purchasing consortiums like Sourcewell that aggregate procurement across multiple jurisdictions. The scope of work centers on technical environmental compliance services rather than downhole logging tools, reflecting a significant divergence between the code's nominal name and actual state and local purchasing practice.

Geographic activity appears concentrated in the Southwest, with the City of Tucson (Pima County, Arizona) and Washington state counties participating through Sourcewell's cooperative framework posting recent opportunities. The Tucson RFP No. 240011 for Gas Extraction and Removal services, posted September 30, 2026 with a response deadline of September 19, 2024, sought proposals from EPA-certified refrigerant reclaimers capable of processing approximately 50 units per week with comprehensive extraction and documentation protocols; the contract offered a one-year initial term with four optional renewals and included pre-submittal conferences and structured pricing for different extraction volumes and service times. Sourcewell RFP #061626 for Law Enforcement Equipment, posted May 12, 2026 and due June 16, 2026, represents a misalignment between the code tag and the actual procurement, suggesting potential data-entry inconsistency in the source materials. The code shows limited recent activity focused on environmental compliance and asset recovery rather than its stated commodity definition.
