UNSPSC 71122900: Oilfield rigs

Services for management, positioning, rental, mobilization, demobilization, and maintenance of land, platform, jackup, semisubmersible, submersible, barges and drill ships.

UNSPSC 71122900 Oilfield rigs is a Class code that in recent state and local procurement activity encompasses EPA-certified refrigerant extraction and recovery services for municipal sustainability programs, a scope that diverges significantly from the nominal "oilfield rigs" designation. The City of Tucson Environmental and General Services Division solicited RFP No. 240011 for Gas Extraction and Removal services, 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 demands EPA certification, properly certified technicians, EPA-approved recovery equipment, and detailed record-keeping to demonstrate compliance. The contract offers flexible pricing structures with line items for removing Freon, mixed gas, and refrigerant, plus hourly labor rates for general operating hours, after-hours work, and holiday rates. The issuing body is a city environmental agency rather than an energy or extraction-focused jurisdiction, suggesting the code's application here reflects municipal waste and sustainability management rather than traditional oilfield activity.

A second opportunity tagged to this code—Sourcewell's RFP #061626 for Law Enforcement Equipment, due June 16, 2026—appears unrelated to refrigerant extraction or oilfield operations and does not represent genuine activity under the code's scope. Recent activity under 71122900 shows minimal volume and geographic concentration limited to Arizona municipalities focused on appliance and refrigerant management. The Tucson solicitation, posted September 30, 2026, with a final proposal deadline of September 19, 2024, represents the primary concrete example of state and local procurement under this code, though the due date predates the posting date, suggesting potential data inconsistency or amendment activity in the source record.
