UNSPSC 20142400: Ocean floor equipment

UNSPSC 20142400 Ocean floor equipment is a Class code that, based on recent state and local activity, encompasses environmental gas extraction and refrigerant recovery services rather than literal ocean floor equipment. State and local governments soliciting under this code seek EPA-certified refrigerant reclaimers capable of extracting, documenting, and properly disposing of refrigerants and gases from collected appliances and equipment. The work involves technical compliance with EPA regulations, maintaining certified technicians, utilizing EPA-approved recovery equipment, and providing comprehensive records of gas destruction or recycling. Issuing bodies include city environmental services divisions managing sustainability campuses and special-purpose procurement cooperatives serving multiple jurisdictions and public entities.

The City of Tucson Environmental and General Services Division posted RFP No. 240011 for Gas Extraction and Removal services at the Los Reales Sustainability Campus, with proposals due September 19, 2024, seeking an EPA-certified refrigerant reclaimer to extract gases from approximately 50 units per week on a one-year contract with up to four one-year renewals. Sourcewell, the Minnesota local government cooperative, issued RFP #061626 for Law Enforcement Equipment with a June 16, 2026 deadline through its Procurement Portal, though this opportunity appears misaligned with the ocean floor equipment code classification and does not reflect relevant procurement activity under the code proper. Recent documented state and local activity under UNSPSC 20142400 is limited to the Tucson opportunity in Arizona.
