UNSPSC 20122351: Wireline scrapers

UNSPSC 20122351 Wireline scrapers, a Commodity code, nominally describes specialized tools for removing debris from pipes and conduits. The recent state and local opportunities posted under this code show a sharp divergence from that scope: the City of Tucson is soliciting EPA-certified refrigerant reclamation services for gas extraction from approximately 50 units per week at its Los Reales Sustainability Campus, and Sourcewell (acting as a Minnesota local government unit and cooperative for multiple Washington state counties and jurisdictions nationwide) is advertising law enforcement equipment contracting through a multi-entity purchasing vehicle. Neither activity aligns with the wireline scraper taxonomy. The Tucson procurement targets HVAC and appliance refrigerant recovery, including documentation of gas destruction or recycling, while the Sourcewell vehicle establishes a framework for law enforcement equipment across thousands of potential public entities. The code shows little relevant recent activity in its stated commodity scope.

The City of Tucson Environmental and General Services Division issued RFP No. 240011 for gas extraction services with a response deadline of September 19, 2024, offering a one-year initial contract term plus up to four one-year renewals and requiring pre-submittal conference attendance on March 19, 2024. Sourcewell issued RFP No. 061626 for law enforcement equipment on behalf of participating counties in Washington state and other jurisdictions, with responses due June 16, 2026, through the Sourcewell Procurement Portal. Geographic activity centers on Arizona and Washington state, though the Sourcewell cooperative vehicle encompasses jurisdictions across the United States and Canada. Neither opportunity reflects procurement of wireline scrapers, suggesting either a coding mismatch in the state and local system or that this commodity code does not currently support meaningful activity in the market.
