UNSPSC 23111606: Resid hydrotreater

UNSPSC 23111606 Resid hydrotreater is a Commodity code that in recent state and local solicitations covers refrigerant extraction, recovery, and destruction services from appliances and equipment — work performed by EPA-certified reclaimers who extract, document, and recycle or destroy recovered refrigerants according to federal environmental standards. State and local governments procure this service as part of facility management and sustainability operations, particularly when decommissioning or refurbishing large numbers of cooling units and HVAC equipment. The issuing bodies on record include city environmental and general services divisions; one recent RFP from the City of Tucson Environmental and General Services Division sought an EPA-certified refrigerant reclaimer to extract gases from approximately 50 units per week at the Los Reales Sustainability Campus on a biweekly schedule, with extraction, documentation, and recycling or destruction services priced by refrigerant type and labor rate.

The code shows limited recent activity in the state and local market. Beyond the Tucson opportunity (RFP No. 240011, due September 19, 2024), the second record tagged to this code—Sourcewell RFP #061626 for Law Enforcement Equipment (due June 16, 2026)—is plainly unrelated to refrigerant hydrotreater scope and appears to be a mislabeling in the source. Geographic spread is unclear; only Arizona appears in relevant recent solicitations. Pursuit depends on EPA certification capability and readiness to perform biweekly extraction and documentation cycles under federal environmental compliance; the Tucson contract included DBE participation language tied to Federal Transit Administration terms. The code shows little current market activity compared to broader facilities maintenance and environmental compliance categories.
