UNSPSC 20131002: Fluid spacers

UNSPSC 20131002 Fluid spacers is a Commodity code with minimal recent activity directly aligned to its nominal scope. The two most recent state and local opportunities tagged to this code show little connection to fluid spacers as traditionally understood — materials used to maintain separation or spacing in mechanical or construction applications. The City of Tucson's RFP 240011 for Gas Extraction and Removal services centers on EPA-certified refrigerant recovery from appliances at the Los Reales Sustainability Campus, involving extraction, documentation, and recycling of refrigerant gases rather than spacer materials. Sourcewell's RFP 061626 for Law Enforcement Equipment, posted on behalf of participating Washington counties and numerous other jurisdictions, is a cooperative purchasing vehicle for law enforcement gear and supplies unrelated to spacers or fluid handling materials. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and these recent solicitations suggests either inconsistent code application by issuing bodies or sparse genuine activity in the fluid-spacer category itself.

No recent state and local procurement opportunities directly soliciting fluid spacers or materials matching the Commodity code's definition appear in the available records. The City of Tucson opportunity closed on September 19, 2024, and Sourcewell's law enforcement equipment RFP closed on June 16, 2026, but neither represents activity relevant to the fluid-spacer code. If your firm specializes in fluid spacers or related materials, this code warrants monitoring, but current state and local procurement signals under this classification are not actionable.
