UNSPSC 20123000: Multilateral equipment

UNSPSC 20123000 Multilateral equipment is a Class code capturing specialized extraction and recovery equipment used by state and local governments in environmental management and law enforcement applications. Recent solicitations show state and local buyers purchasing EPA-certified refrigerant recovery systems for appliance and product gas extraction, and establishing cooperative contracting vehicles for law enforcement equipment procurement. The City of Tucson's RFP for gas extraction services at its sustainability campus exemplifies environmental equipment procurement under this code, requiring EPA-certified reclaimers capable of processing approximately 50 units per week with full documentation of gas destruction or recycling. Issuing bodies include municipal environmental divisions, county governments, and cooperative purchasing units acting as procurement intermediaries for multi-jurisdictional consortia. Sourcewell, a Minnesota local government cooperative, is procuring law enforcement equipment on behalf of Franklin, Grant, Grays Harbor, Chelan, and Yakima counties in Washington, plus numerous other jurisdictions and public entities across the United States and Canada.

Activity spans Arizona and the Pacific Northwest, with recent opportunities including Tucson's environmental procurement and Sourcewell's multi-state cooperative law enforcement equipment initiative. The City of Tucson Environmental and General Services Division issued RFP 240011 for gas extraction and removal services with a response deadline of September 19, 2024, seeking an EPA-certified contractor capable of extracting refrigerant from collected appliances with bi-weekly minimum extraction cycles. Sourcewell posted RFP 061626 for law enforcement equipment on May 12, 2026, with a June 16, 2026 deadline at 3:30 p.m. Central Time through its procurement portal, establishing a cooperative contracting solution available to thousands of public entities including school districts, counties, municipalities, tribal governments, and nonprofit organizations across multiple states.
