UNSPSC 30103626: Tower gangway

Gangway access towers type with a telescopic gangway that moves vertically along the tower by means of a lifting platform. The tower gangway can cover all levels of the ship deck, from small barges to ultra-large crude carriers, in combination with ship movements resulting from tidal movements, loading and unloading and wave movements.

UNSPSC 30103626 Tower gangway is a Commodity code that, based on recent state and local solicitations, covers specialized equipment and services for gas extraction, refrigerant recovery, and environmental compliance work rather than physical tower structures. The City of Tucson Environmental and General Services Division issued RFP No. 240011 seeking an EPA-certified refrigerant reclaimer to extract gases from approximately 50 units per week at the Los Reales Sustainability Campus, with extraction required at minimum every two weeks and comprehensive documentation of gas destruction or recycling. The work involves EPA-approved recovery equipment operation, technician certification, detailed record-keeping, and compliance with federal environmental regulations. State and local buyers under this code include municipal environmental divisions and, potentially, regional cooperative purchasing entities; the City of Tucson appears as a specific issuer focused on sustainable waste management and gas recovery operations.

Recent activity concentrates in Arizona, specifically Pima County and the City of Tucson, with a secondary cooperative-purchasing opportunity spanning multiple Washington counties (Franklin, Grant, Grays Harbor, Chelan, and Yakima) through Sourcewell, a Minnesota local government unit. The City of Tucson's RFP No. 240011 is due September 19, 2024 (now closed relative to the current date of 2026-10-20), with a pre-submittal conference held on March 19, 2024, and an initial one-year contract term with up to four additional one-year renewals available; pricing includes line items for removing Freon, mixed gas, and refrigerant along with labor rates for standard, after-hours, and holiday work. The Sourcewell RFP #061626 for Law Enforcement Equipment, due June 16, 2026, does not appear substantively related to the code's refrigerant and gas-extraction scope and may reflect a coding mismatch in the source material. No incumbent vendors are identified in the available documentation.
