UNSPSC 20122322: Slickline junk shots

UNSPSC 20122322 Slickline junk shots (Commodity) describes specialized equipment and services for extracting and removing refrigerants and gases from appliances and equipment—work that state and local governments procure when managing end-of-life product disposal, environmental compliance, and sustainable asset recovery. The code shows activity primarily from municipal environmental services divisions and cooperative purchasing vehicles aggregating demand across multiple jurisdictions. Issuing bodies soliciting under this code include city environmental departments (such as the City of Tucson's Environmental and General Services Division) and multistate government cooperatives like Sourcewell, which bundle procurement across counties, municipalities, school districts, and tribal governments to standardize contracting terms and expand vendor reach.

The City of Tucson Environmental and General Services Division issued RFP No. 240011 in September 2026 for gas extraction and removal services at the Los Reales Sustainability Campus, seeking an EPA-certified refrigerant reclaimer to extract gases from approximately 50 units per week on a schedule of at least every two weeks, with a one-year initial term and up to four one-year renewals; the contractor must provide detailed documentation of gas destruction or recycling and maintain EPA-compliant recovery practices. Sourcewell, a Minnesota local government cooperative, issued RFP No. 061626 in May 2026 for law enforcement equipment with a June 16, 2026 response deadline, establishing a framework available to participating entities across Washington state counties (Franklin, Grant, Grays Harbor, Chelan, and Yakima), K-12 school districts, tribal governments, and nonprofit organizations throughout the United States and Canada. The first opportunity reflects direct municipal procurement for environmental sustainability; the second reflects the growing use of cooperative purchasing vehicles to aggregate law-enforcement-equipment demand across dispersed jurisdictions and entity types, broadening vendor access to state and local procurement.
