UNSPSC 20142708: Samson post assembly

Support of oilwell pumping unit

UNSPSC 20142708 Samson post assembly is a Commodity code that in current state and local procurement activity encompasses refrigerant recovery and gas extraction services from appliances and HVAC equipment, along with law enforcement equipment procurement. The scope diverges significantly from the abstract code name: recent solicitations show government buyers contracting for EPA-certified refrigerant reclaimers to extract and document destruction or recycling of refrigerants, freons, and mixed gases from collected units on a recurring basis, and for cooperative purchasing vehicles that establish master contracts for law enforcement equipment available to multiple public entities. Issuing bodies include municipal environmental services divisions (City of Tucson Environmental and General Services Division), county governments (Franklin, Grant, Grays Harbor, Chelan, and Yakima Counties in Washington), and state-level cooperative purchasing units (Sourcewell, a Minnesota local government unit). The code shows minimal recent activity directly aligned with its nominal scope, with the two recent opportunities addressing distinct commodity families—one environmental services contract and one law enforcement equipment framework—suggesting the code may be receiving mismatched tagging in state and local procurement systems.

Recent activity appears concentrated in the Pacific Northwest and Southwest. The City of Tucson Environmental and General Services Division issued RFP No. 240011 for Gas Extraction and Removal services (due September 19, 2024), seeking an EPA-certified refrigerant reclaimer to extract gases from approximately 50 units per week at the Los Reales Sustainability Campus, with the initial contract term set at one year plus up to four one-year renewals. Sourcewell, on behalf of participating Washington counties and other jurisdictions nationwide, issued RFP 061626 for Law Enforcement Equipment (due June 16, 2026), establishing a master contract vehicle for use by thousands of governmental agencies, K-12 school districts, and public entities across the United States and Canada. The Tucson opportunity involves FTA-compliant terms and emphasizes EPA certification and technical compliance; the Sourcewell RFP operates as a cooperative purchasing framework with proposals submitted exclusively through the Sourcewell Procurement Portal. The code shows sparse relevant recent activity, and the divergence between the code's nominal scope and the actual work being solicited warrants verification of tagging accuracy in future tracking.
