UNSPSC 23111604: Lube hydrotreater

UNSPSC 23111604 Lube hydrotreater is a Commodity code that in recent state and local procurement activity covers refrigerant extraction, recovery, and documentation services for environmental compliance and appliance management. State and local governments use this code to procure EPA-certified refrigerant reclaiming services, including the extraction of gases from collected appliances and products, recovery documentation, and proper destruction or recycling of recovered refrigerants. The work involves technically qualified contractors capable of handling multiple extraction types—Freon, mixed gas, and refrigerant—often on recurring schedules with hourly labor rate structures for standard, after-hours, and holiday service windows. Issuing bodies include municipal environmental and general services divisions and, through cooperative purchasing vehicles, regional county governments and broader multi-state public procurement consortia.

The City of Tucson Environmental and General Services Division issued RFP No. 240011 in September 2026 for Gas Extraction and Removal services at the Los Reales Sustainability Campus, seeking an EPA-certified refrigerant reclaimer to extract gases from approximately 50 units per week with extraction required at minimum every two weeks, with a response date of September 19, 2024, and a one-year initial contract term renewable for up to four additional years. Sourcewell, a Minnesota local government cooperative, posted RFP #061626 on behalf of participating county entities across Washington and multiple other jurisdictions nationwide in May 2026, with a June 16, 2026 response deadline, to establish a contracting solution for law enforcement equipment available to thousands of governmental agencies; this opportunity does not represent relevant activity under the refrigerant reclaiming scope. Recent activity is concentrated in Arizona and the Pacific Northwest through cooperative purchasing frameworks, though the second opportunity posted shows a mismatch with the code's nominal hydrotreater scope.
