UNSPSC 42151606: Dental carvers

In this classification, this commodity indicates a product that is a hand instrument, available in a wide variety of end shapes, used for forming and contouring wax, filling materials in a dental procedure. Most nations, for tariff and trade purposes, schedule these products under HS 901839.

UNSPSC 42151606 Dental carvers is a Commodity code, though the recent activity under this code shows little alignment with hand instruments—instead, state and local governments are soliciting advanced digital imaging equipment for dental education and clinical practice. Valencia College's School of Allied Health, Dental Hygiene Department posted a sole source procurement (SS202620) in April 2026 for 4 iTero Lumina Scanners from Align Technology, Inc., valued at $143,196.00, representing the primary recent opportunity tagged under this code. The procurement was conducted under Florida Administrative Code 6A-14.0734(2)(a)(h) and Florida Statute 287.057, following a seven business day public posting process for sole source review. The iTero Lumina Scanners are 3D intraoral imaging devices for creating digital representations of teeth and gums, positioned as critical technology for dental hygiene clinical and educational infrastructure rather than traditional carving instruments. The code shows limited recent activity, and the single documented opportunity suggests either a classification mismatch or a narrow slice of state and local procurement under this Commodity designation.

Geographic activity is concentrated in Florida, with Valencia College's procurement being the sole recent documented opportunity. The issuing body is a single public college, specifically its allied health department, rather than a broader mix of state departments, districts, or municipalities. The procurement response deadline was November 27, 2025, already passed as of the current date; no additional current opportunities are present in the source. Bidders pursuing this code should note that the mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the imaging-equipment reality of recent solicitations may reflect either administrative tagging inconsistency or a shift in what is actually being bought under this designation.
