UNSPSC 20122349: Wireline grabs

UNSPSC 20122349 Wireline grabs, a Commodity code, covers equipment and specialized tools for extracting, removing, and recovering refrigerants and gases from appliances and mechanical systems. State and local governments procure under this code for environmental compliance work — specifically EPA-certified refrigerant recovery and reclamation services, including the extraction of Freon, mixed gases, and other regulated refrigerants from collected units, paired with documentation of proper destruction or recycling. The issuing bodies are primarily municipal environmental and sustainability departments; the City of Tucson Environmental and General Services Division is a representative buyer. Work solicited includes on-site or facility-based gas extraction from collected appliances at minimum biweekly intervals, with pricing structured around removal volume, labor rates for standard and after-hours work, and compliance documentation.

Recent activity is sparse. One substantive opportunity appears in the recent-opportunities block: the City of Tucson (Arizona) 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, with a pre-submittal conference scheduled for March 2024 and proposals due September 19, 2024. The initial contract term is one year with up to four one-year renewals. A second posted opportunity, Sourcewell RFP #061626 for Law Enforcement Equipment (due June 16, 2026), is misaligned with the wireline-grabs scope and appears to be a misfiled cooperative purchasing solicitation unrelated to refrigerant recovery. Arizona is the only state showing relevant recent activity under this code. No set-aside designations are explicitly detailed, though FTA terms referenced in the Tucson RFP typically include DBE participation provisions.
