UNSPSC 20122706: Conductor casing

UNSPSC 20122706 Conductor casing is a Commodity code that in recent state and local procurement activity actually refers to refrigerant extraction and gas removal services rather than physical conductor casings. The City of Tucson Environmental and General Services Division issued RFP No. 240011 for EPA-certified refrigerant reclaimer services to extract gases from approximately 50 units per week at the Los Reales Sustainability Campus, with extraction required at minimum every two weeks and comprehensive documentation of gas destruction or recycling. The scope includes extraction of Freon, mixed gas, and refrigerant from collected appliances and products, with tiered labor rates for general operating hours, after-hours work, and holiday rates. All technicians performing gas extraction must hold proper EPA certifications, and the contractor must maintain detailed records of gas recovery using EPA-approved equipment. The initial contract term is one year with potential for up to four additional one-year renewals. Issuing bodies in the recent-opportunities block include municipal environmental services divisions and cooperative purchasing vehicles; Sourcewell, a Minnesota local government unit and service cooperative, also posted RFP #061626 for Law Enforcement Equipment on May 12, 2026, due June 16, 2026, suggesting the code may be tagged inconsistently across jurisdictions.

Recent activity appears concentrated in the Southwest, with the Tucson solicitation serving Pima County and the City of Tucson in Arizona. The Sourcewell cooperative procurement spans participating entities including Franklin County, Grant County, Grays Harbor County, Chelan County, and Yakima County in Washington state, along with numerous other jurisdictions and public entities throughout the United States and Canada, though the law enforcement equipment scope appears misaligned with the conductor casing code's nominal classification. The Tucson RFP includes a pre-submittal conference scheduled for March 19, 2024, via Microsoft Teams, with final proposals due September 19, 2024, at 2:00 p.m. local Arizona time. The procurement references Federal Transit Administration Terms and Conditions with provisions for disadvantaged business enterprise participation, and all solicitation documents for the Sourcewell opportunity are available exclusively through the Sourcewell Procurement Portal at https://proportal.sourcewell-mn.gov, with vendor inquiries directed to Mari Vielma at rfp@sourcewell-mn.gov or 888-894-1930.
