UNSPSC 20142001: Oil well glycol regenerators

UNSPSC 20142001 Oil well glycol regenerators is a Commodity code that state and local governments use to tag refrigerant recovery and gas extraction services, though recent opportunities show minimal alignment with the code's nominal scope. The City of Tucson Environmental and General Services Division solicited RFP No. 240011 for EPA-certified refrigerant reclaimer services to extract refrigerants 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 second opportunity tagged under this code—Sourcewell's RFP #061626 for Law Enforcement Equipment on behalf of multiple Washington counties and nationwide participating entities—bears no relationship to refrigerant recovery or oil well glycol regeneration and appears to be a classification mismatch. State and local activity under this code is limited; the only substantive recent solicitation is the Tucson refrigerant extraction procurement, which focuses on environmental compliance and appliance gas management rather than oil well operations or glycol regeneration.

The Tucson opportunity represents activity in Arizona, with a pre-submittal conference scheduled for March 19, 2024, and final proposals due September 19, 2024. The contract involves one-year initial terms with potential for up to four additional one-year renewals, with pricing structured around extraction volumes and service times (Freon, mixed gas, and refrigerant removal, plus hourly labor rates for general, after-hours, and holiday work). EPA certification and technical expertise in gas extraction and environmental compliance are core qualifications. The code shows no consistent issuing-body pattern or geographic concentration; the Sourcewell filing suggests cooperative-purchasing infrastructure but the law enforcement equipment scope indicates a tagging error rather than legitimate activity under this commodity classification.
