UNSPSC 20122516: Coiled tubing tool string

A continuous length of low-alloy carbon-steel tubing that can be spooled on a reel for transport, then deployed into a wellbore for the placement of fluids or manipulation of tools during workover and well-intervention operations.

UNSPSC 20122516 Coiled tubing tool string is a Commodity code that encompasses specialized equipment and services for extracting, recovering, and managing refrigerant gases from appliances and HVAC systems. Based on recent state and local solicitations, the code captures work involving EPA-certified refrigerant recovery, documentation of gas destruction or recycling, and the technical labor required to perform extraction and compliance activities. State and local buyers under this code include city environmental and general services divisions managing sustainability initiatives, as well as cooperative purchasing vehicles serving multi-jurisdictional law enforcement and public-sector equipment needs. The scope reflects environmental compliance and asset recovery rather than traditional drilling or tubing applications, indicating that the code's nominal name may not align with current procurement activity in the state and local space.

Recent opportunities show activity centered in the Southwest and Pacific Northwest. The City of Tucson Environmental and General Services Division issued RFP No. 240011 for Gas Extraction and Removal services in September 2026, seeking an EPA-certified refrigerant reclaimer to extract gases from approximately 50 units per week at the Los Reales Sustainability Campus, with proposals due on September 19, 2024, and a one-year initial contract term with up to four one-year renewals. Sourcewell, a Minnesota-based cooperative purchasing vehicle, issued RFP No. 061626 for Law Enforcement Equipment in May 2026 with a June 16, 2026 response deadline on behalf of participating counties in Washington State and other jurisdictions nationwide; however, that solicitation appears unrelated to the code's core refrigerant-recovery scope. The Tucson opportunity represents more typical activity under this code, though the recent-opportunities block contains limited additional examples, suggesting relatively modest overall state and local procurement volume under UNSPSC 20122516.
