UNSPSC 25191841: Fuel test vehicle

Renting and leasing vehicles for certain mileage accumulation to test lubes and fuels before enter the market.

UNSPSC 25191841 Fuel test vehicle is a Commodity code that actually encompasses EPA-certified refrigerant extraction and reclamation services for municipal sustainability operations, not automotive fuel testing as the nominal code name suggests. State and local governments procure this service primarily through environmental and general services divisions managing appliance and HVAC unit decommissioning at municipal campuses and facilities. The work involves certified technicians extracting refrigerants (Freon, mixed gas, refrigerant compounds) from collected units on a recurring schedule, documenting gas destruction or recycling for regulatory compliance, and maintaining comprehensive records of recovery operations. Issuing bodies include city environmental services departments and, through cooperative purchasing agreements, multi-county and multi-state networks that extend the contract to school districts, transit authorities, and other public entities.

The City of Tucson Environmental and General Services Division issued RFP 240011 for Gas Extraction and Removal services at the Los Reales Sustainability Campus in September 2026, seeking an EPA-certified refrigerant reclaimer to extract gases from approximately 50 units per week with a one-year initial term and up to four one-year renewals; the pre-submittal conference was scheduled for March 19, 2024, with proposals due September 19, 2024. Sourcewell, a Minnesota local government cooperative, posted RFP 061626 in May 2026 on behalf of participating counties in Washington (Franklin, Grant, Grays Harbor, Chelan, Yakima) and entities nationwide to establish a law enforcement equipment contracting solution due June 16, 2026, though this opportunity does not align with the fuel test vehicle code scope. Recent activity under this code is limited; the Tucson solicitation represents the primary state-local procurement signal, with geographic concentration in Arizona and no standout repeat buyers evident in current postings.
