UNSPSC 20142000: Glycol regenerators

UNSPSC 20142000 Glycol regenerators is a Class code that appears to cover equipment and services related to fluid recovery and environmental remediation, though recent state and local solicitation activity under this code shows minimal direct relevance to the code's nominal scope. The City of Tucson Environmental and General Services Division posted RFP No. 240011 in September 2026 seeking an EPA-certified refrigerant reclaimer to extract gases from approximately 50 units per week at the Los Reales Sustainability Campus, with extraction required at minimum every two weeks and comprehensive documentation of gas destruction or recycling. A separate cooperative procurement issued by Sourcewell on behalf of multiple Washington state counties and participating entities posted RFP No. 061626 in May 2026 for law enforcement equipment, a category entirely unrelated to glycol regeneration or refrigerant recovery. The refrigerant extraction work represents the only substantively relevant recent activity under this code, targeting municipal environmental compliance and sustainable asset management rather than glycol regeneration per se.

The Tucson solicitation is the only recent opportunity with clear connection to the code's nominal function. The City of Tucson is a standout issuer under this code, soliciting through an RFP with a pre-submittal conference scheduled for March 2024 and proposals due September 19, 2024. The initial contract term runs one year with options for four additional one-year renewals. Qualification requirements are strict—EPA certification as a refrigerant reclaimer, EPA-approved recovery equipment, certified technicians, and detailed record-keeping—suggesting that winning vendors need established environmental compliance infrastructure and regulatory expertise. The procurement includes a comprehensive pricing structure with line items for Freon, mixed gas, and refrigerant removal, plus tiered labor rates for general hours, after-hours work, and holiday service. The Sourcewell cooperative procurement covering Washington counties does not represent actionable activity under this code. Geographic activity is limited to Arizona based on recent evidence; the law enforcement opportunity, though posted under the code, does not indicate active procurement demand for glycol regeneration or related fluid recovery services in other jurisdictions.
