UNSPSC 42151604: Composite placement tools

In this classification, this commodity indicates a product that applies composite materials in dental procedures. Most nations, for tariff and trade purposes, schedule these products under HS 640419.

UNSPSC 42151604 Composite placement tools is a Commodity code that covers specialized scanning, imaging, and analytical equipment for clinical and laboratory settings, though recent state and local procurement activity under this code shows minimal alignment with the nominal taxonomy category. State and local issuing bodies purchasing under this code include higher-education institutions (Valencia College, Texas A&M University) and municipal utilities (City of Arlington). The scope of work reflects equipment acquisitions for dental hygiene education, healthcare supply agreements, and wastewater treatment monitoring rather than composite placement tools in the traditional sense. Valencia College's sole-source procurement targets 4 iTero Lumina Scanners from Align Technology, Inc for its School of Allied Health Dental Hygiene Department at a total cost of $143,196.00, while Texas A&M University is establishing a master order vendor pool for on-demand dental and medical equipment and supplies. The City of Arlington is separately procuring a cyanide flow analyzer for wastewater treatment operations, a procurement plainly outside the code's nominal scope and suggesting potential tagging misalignment in state and local systems.

Recent procurement activity concentrates in Texas and Florida. Valencia College posted its sole-source notice on November 18, 2025 with a due date of November 27, 2025 under Florida Administrative Code and Florida Statute 287.057. Texas A&M University issued ITB TAMHSC-26-0648 with a September 3, 2026 deadline for vendor pool bids submitted through the AggieBid portal, distributed to the State of Texas Centralized Master Bidders List and prior respondents. The City of Arlington released RFP 270014 on August 12, 2026 with a September 10, 2026 proposal deadline through Euna Procurement. The code shows limited recent activity and mixed relevance to the composite placement tools taxonomy; activity appears driven by institutional equipment replacement and utility compliance rather than a coherent commodity category.
