UNSPSC 20122604: Seismic drill tankers

UNSPSC 20122604 Seismic drill tankers is a Commodity code that in recent state and local procurement appears to encompass refrigerant and gas extraction services from appliances and equipment, rather than equipment itself. The City of Tucson Environmental and General Services Division issued RFP No. 240011 for gas extraction and removal at the Los Reales Sustainability Campus, seeking an EPA-certified refrigerant reclaimer to extract gases from approximately 50 units per week at minimum biweekly intervals. The work requires EPA certification, compliance documentation, use of EPA-approved recovery equipment, and certified technician credentials. State and local buyers under this code are primarily municipal environmental and sustainability divisions managing appliance and equipment disposal or lifecycle management. The contract structure includes itemized pricing for extracting Freon, mixed gas, and refrigerant, with separate hourly labor rates for general operating hours, after-hours work, and holiday service. The City of Tucson contract carries potential for up to four one-year renewals after an initial one-year term and references Federal Transit Administration terms and conditions that typically include disadvantaged business enterprise participation provisions.

The code shows limited recent state and local activity in the source material. The Tucson RFP, posted September 30, 2026, with a response date of September 19, 2024, represents the primary recent opportunity visible under this code, situated within Pima County, Arizona. Geographic scope is not broadly characterized across multiple jurisdictions in the available data. The mismatch between the code's nominal name ("seismic drill tankers") and the actual work being solicited (refrigerant and gas extraction services) suggests either a coding anomaly in the state and local system or that this Commodity code is used narrowly for specialized extraction services beyond its abstract classification.
