UNSPSC 20122619: Seismic tow blocks

UNSPSC 20122619 Seismic tow blocks, a Commodity code, covers EPA-certified refrigerant reclamation and gas extraction services from discarded appliances and products at municipal sustainability facilities. The work involves extracting refrigerants (Freon, mixed gas, and other refrigerants) from approximately 50 units per week on a recurring schedule, maintaining comprehensive recovery records, and documenting the destruction or recycling of extracted materials. Issuing bodies soliciting under this code include city environmental and general services divisions managing municipal waste streams and sustainability campuses. The work requires EPA certification, EPA-approved recovery equipment, certified technicians, and compliance with federal environmental regulations. Pricing is typically structured around extraction volumes, service-call timing (standard hours, after-hours, holiday rates), and documentation deliverables rather than fixed fees.

The City of Tucson Environmental and General Services Division posted RFP No. 240011 on September 30, 2026, seeking an EPA-certified refrigerant reclaimer for gas extraction and removal at the Los Reales Sustainability Campus, with a response deadline of September 19, 2024, and a pre-submittal conference scheduled for March 19, 2024. The initial contract term is one year with up to four additional one-year renewals. The procurement references Federal Transit Administration terms and conditions, which typically include DBE participation provisions. The code shows limited recent state and local activity; this single documented opportunity represents the primary recent solicitation under UNSPSC 20122619 in the accessible record.
