UNSPSC 20123204: Weldable liner

UNSPSC 20123204 Weldable liner is a Commodity code that in recent state and local solicitations covers EPA-certified refrigerant reclamation and gas extraction services, not physical weldable liner products. 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 with extraction required at minimum every two weeks. The scope includes extraction of Freon, mixed gas, and refrigerant; detailed documentation of gas destruction or recycling; EPA-approved recovery equipment; comprehensive record-keeping; and certified technician requirements. The contract term runs one year with potential for up to four additional one-year renewals, with pricing structured around line items for different gas types and labor rates for standard, after-hours, and holiday work. A parallel recent opportunity—Sourcewell RFP #061626 on behalf of multiple Washington counties and thousands of public entities nationwide—is tagged to this code but addresses law enforcement equipment procurement and appears unrelated to the code's nominal scope.

State and local procurement activity under this code is sparse and geographically narrow. The Tucson solicitation represents the primary documented recent activity, with a pre-submittal conference scheduled for March 19, 2024, and final proposals due September 19, 2024. The issuing body is a municipal environmental services division within Pima County, Arizona. Sourcewell's cooperative purchasing vehicle, while tagged to this code, targets law enforcement equipment across multiple states and does not align with weldable liner or refrigerant reclamation scope. The code shows little relevant recent activity; the Tucson opportunity suggests niche environmental compliance work at municipal sustainability facilities rather than traditional liner or welding product procurement.
