UNSPSC 20131009: Water based muds

UNSPSC 20131009 Water based muds is a Commodity code that in recent state and local procurement activity describes refrigerant extraction and gas removal services rather than drilling fluids or mud products. The City of Tucson Environmental and General Services Division solicited RFP No. 240011 for EPA-certified refrigerant recovery from approximately 50 units per week at the Los Reales Sustainability Campus, requiring extraction at minimum every two weeks and comprehensive documentation of gas destruction or recycling. The scope encompasses technical extraction services, EPA compliance, certified technician labor, and detailed record-keeping rather than material goods. Issuing bodies tagging this code include municipal environmental divisions and sustainability-focused city departments; the recent opportunities do not yet show a pattern of repeat buyers or jurisdictional concentration across state and local procurement activity.

The City of Tucson in Arizona represents the primary recent geographic point of activity under this code. The RFP No. 240011 carried a pre-submittal conference scheduled for March 19, 2024, and a final proposal due date of September 19, 2024, at 2:00 P.M. Arizona time, with an initial one-year contract term and up to four additional one-year renewals. The solicitation references Federal Transit Administration Terms and Conditions, indicating potential disadvantaged business enterprise participation provisions. No specific budget or award value appears in the available documentation, though the RFP structured pricing by extraction type (Freon, mixed gas, refrigerant) and labor rates for general hours, after-hours, and holiday work. The code shows limited recent solicitation activity; additional state and local opportunities under this Commodity designation are not present in the current dataset.
