UNSPSC 20142100: Heater treaters

UNSPSC 20142100 Heater treaters is a Class code that in recent state and local procurement has primarily supported refrigerant extraction and gas recovery services from appliances and HVAC equipment. The City of Tucson Environmental and General Services Division sought EPA-certified refrigerant reclaimers capable of extracting refrigerant gases from approximately 50 units per week, with extraction required at minimum every two weeks and comprehensive documentation of gas destruction or recycling. Work under this code involves EPA-compliant gas extraction using approved recovery equipment, proper technician certification, and detailed record-keeping of recovered materials. Issuing bodies include municipal environmental and sustainability divisions managing appliance and equipment disposal programs.

The most recent documented activity appears concentrated in Arizona, specifically the City of Tucson's Los Reales Sustainability Campus project. The City of Tucson issued RFP No. 240011 for Gas Extraction and Removal services with a pre-submittal conference scheduled for March 19, 2024, and proposals due September 19, 2024, under a one-year initial contract with up to four one-year renewals. Pricing included line items for Freon, mixed gas, and refrigerant extraction as well as labor rates for standard, after-hours, and holiday work. The RFP referenced Federal Transit Administration terms and conditions, suggesting potential DBE participation requirements. A second solicitation in the recent-opportunities block, Sourcewell RFP #061626 posted May 12, 2026 for Law Enforcement Equipment with a June 16, 2026 response date, does not align with the code's nominal scope and appears to be a data-entry mismatch rather than representative activity under this Class.
