UNSPSC 20122375: Wireline quick lock coupling

Quick Couplings are used as a fast, safe & strong method of tool coupling. Coupling can be made by hand, eliminating requirement of wrenches / spanners etc.

UNSPSC 20122375 Wireline quick lock coupling is a Commodity code that in recent state and local procurement activity encompasses refrigerant recovery and gas extraction equipment and services rather than mechanical couplings. The City of Tucson Environmental and General Services Division issued RFP 240011 for EPA-certified refrigerant reclaiming services at the Los Reales Sustainability Campus, seeking extraction of gases from approximately 50 units per week with documentation of gas destruction or recycling. This represents the primary recent activity under the code. The issuing bodies soliciting under this code span municipal environmental departments and, through cooperative purchasing vehicles, multi-state law enforcement and public-sector procurement consortia. Sourcewell, a Minnesota local government unit and service cooperative, issued RFP 061626 for law enforcement equipment on behalf of participating entities across Washington state and multiple jurisdictions nationwide, though the law enforcement equipment solicitation appears misaligned with the code's nominal refrigerant coupling scope.

Geographic activity centers on Arizona (Tucson, Pima County) and the Pacific Northwest and upper Midwest through Sourcewell's multi-state cooperative framework covering Washington, Minnesota, and participating entities throughout the United States and Canada. The City of Tucson RFP 240011 closed June 16, 2026, with proposals due by September 19, 2024, at 2:00 P.M. Arizona time; the contract term runs one year with up to four one-year renewals. Contractors must hold EPA certification, utilize EPA-approved recovery equipment, and maintain comprehensive documentation. The code shows limited recent relevant activity; the Sourcewell law enforcement equipment solicitation does not align with wireline coupling or refrigerant extraction work and suggests potential tagging misalignment in the source data.
