UNSPSC 20123201: Slotted expandable setting tool

Tool designed for work with expandable downhole equipment and tubulars.

UNSPSC 20123201 Slotted expandable setting tool is a Commodity code that in recent state and local solicitations describes refrigerant recovery and gas extraction services rather than a hand tool. The City of Tucson Environmental and General Services Division issued RFP 240011 for Gas Extraction and Removal, seeking EPA-certified refrigerant reclaimers to extract gases from approximately 50 appliance units per week with documentation of destruction or recycling; the contract runs one year with up to four one-year renewals and includes comprehensive pricing for Freon, mixed gas, and refrigerant extraction plus hourly labor rates for standard and after-hours work. State and local issuing bodies pursuing procurement under this code span municipalities and county governments. Beyond the Tucson opportunity, the City of Peoria, Arizona has solicited civil and site work services under Job Order Contracting, and Sourcewell (a Minnesota local government cooperative) issued a multi-jurisdiction RFP for law enforcement equipment available to participating entities across multiple states. The mismatch between the code's nominal title and the work actually being bought suggests the code sees limited recent activity aligned with its slotted expandable setting tool definition; no recent state or local solicitations directly reference procurement of mechanical setting tools or downhole equipment.

Geographic activity centers on Arizona, with the Tucson and Peoria opportunities both posted in September and October 2026. The Sourcewell cooperative procurement for law enforcement equipment spans Washington state counties (Franklin, Grant, Grays Harbor, Chelan, and Yakima) and extends to entities across the United States and Canada, though this solicitation is tangential to the code's core scope. Response dates for active opportunities include October 9, 2026 for Peoria's JOC solicitation and June 16, 2026 for the Sourcewell RFP (already closed). The City of Tucson's RFP 240011 had a due date of September 19, 2024, indicating the opportunity posting may reflect archived rather than current procurement activity. The divergence between the code's definition and the services actually being solicited suggests this code warrants continued monitoring for genuine slotted expandable setting tool procurement rather than misclassified environmental services.
