UNSPSC 20141902: Dehydration skids

Dehydration equipment packages skids means for removing water vapor in natural gas, widely used in oil and gas dehydration gas pipeline before the technology is mature and reliable.

UNSPSC 20141902 Dehydration skids (Commodity) covers refrigerant and gas extraction, recovery, and recycling equipment and services procured by state and local governments for environmental compliance and sustainable resource management. State and local buyers use this code primarily for EPA-certified refrigerant reclamation services, including extraction of refrigerants and mixed gases from collected appliances and equipment, documentation of gas destruction or recycling, and related technical labor. Issuing bodies include municipal environmental and sustainability divisions, counties, and cooperative purchasing vehicles serving multi-jurisdictional public entities. The work involves contracted environmental services rather than procurement of physical dehydration or skid equipment alone—state and local governments are buying the specialized extraction and compliance capability itself.

The City of Tucson Environmental and General Services Division issued RFP No. 240011 for Gas Extraction and Removal services at the Los Reales Sustainability Campus, seeking an EPA-certified refrigerant reclaimer capable of extracting gases from approximately 50 units per week with extraction required at minimum every two weeks; proposals were due September 19, 2024. Sourcewell, a Minnesota cooperative purchasing vehicle, issued RFP No. 061626 for Law Enforcement Equipment on May 12, 2026, with a June 16, 2026 deadline, though this solicitation appears to be a broader multi-jurisdictional cooperative framework for law enforcement goods and does not represent direct activity under the dehydration skids code. Arizona shows recent activity under the code; broader geographic spread is not evident from the recent opportunities presented.
