UNSPSC 20123301: Drill shoe

A type of drill bit used with casing while drilling.

UNSPSC 20123301 Drill shoe is a Commodity code that in recent state and local activity covers refrigerant recovery and extraction equipment and services, not drilling components as the code name suggests. The City of Tucson's RFP No. 240011 for Gas Extraction and Removal exemplifies the actual scope: the procurement seeks EPA-certified refrigerant reclaimers to extract gases from approximately 50 units per week at the Los Reales Sustainability Campus, with extraction required at minimum every two weeks, comprehensive documentation of gas destruction or recycling, and certified technician performance. State and local buyers using this code include municipal environmental and general services divisions focused on sustainable appliance and product gas management. The issuing body mix remains narrow based on recent postings; the code shows limited visibility across the broader state and local marketplace, with a single clear opportunity in the most recent records.

Recent activity centers in Arizona, specifically Pima County and the City of Tucson, which posted the Gas Extraction and Removal RFP No. 240011 with a response deadline of September 19, 2024, and a one-year contract term with potential four one-year renewals. The pricing structure includes line items for Freon, mixed gas, and refrigerant extraction, plus hourly labor rates for general operating hours, after-hours work, and holiday rates, though specific budget ranges are not disclosed. A pre-submittal conference was scheduled for March 19, 2024, via Microsoft Teams. The second opportunity posted under this code—Sourcewell RFP #061626 for Law Enforcement Equipment—appears unrelated to the code's actual scope and reflects a mismatch between the UNSPSC tag and the work being solicited; that procurement targets law enforcement equipment across multiple Washington state counties and broader cooperative purchasing entities with a June 16, 2026, response deadline, but contains no drill shoe or gas extraction components.
