UNSPSC 24111816: Liquified gas tank or cylinder

Vessel used to store and dispense liquified gas --liquified nitrogen, oxygen, argon, etc.-- at temperatures below -50 degrees centigrade. Vessel is sheathed with thermal insulation material or refrigerated to prevent gas temperature from exceeding normal temperature.

UNSPSC 24111816 Liquified gas tank or cylinder (Commodity) encompasses the supply and refill of compressed and liquified gases—particularly specialty gases such as liquid argon, nitrogen, and refrigerants—to support operations at state and local government facilities. Recent solicitations show state and local agencies buying on-demand gas refill and extraction services for laboratory systems, transportation fleet operations, and environmental remediation, with work ranging from routine maintenance and emergency troubleshooting to certified gas recovery and documentation. Issuing bodies include county transportation authorities, state environmental and toxic-substances departments, municipal environmental services divisions, county forensic institutes, and community colleges. The code captures both commodity supply (refill cylinders and tanks) and the labor services necessary to maintain, troubleshoot, and certify gas systems under environmental and occupational safety regulations.

The recent activity spans California, Washington, Texas, and Arizona. The Orange County Transportation Authority issued IFB 260542 on October 8, 2026, seeking compressed natural gases and related testing gases for CNG bus fleet and maintenance operations—a $100,000 two-year contract due October 27, 2026—with delivery to two facilities in Garden Grove and Santa Ana, California; the solicitation requires DBE participation goals and Davis-Bacon prevailing wage compliance. The California Department of Toxic Substances Control issued IFB I-2627-03 on July 31, 2026, for specialty gas refill services (liquid argon and nitrogen) supporting microbulk tank systems at its Environmental Chemistry Laboratory in Pasadena, with bids due August 31, 2026. The City of Tucson Environmental and General Services Division posted RFP 240011 on September 30, 2026, for EPA-certified refrigerant reclamation services extracting gases from approximately 50 units weekly at the Los Reales Sustainability Campus, with proposals due September 19, 2024. Harris County Institute of Forensic Science issued ITB 260132 on June 26, 2026, for specialty chemicals and industrial gases with a one-year term beginning October 1, 2026, and bids due July 20, 2026.
