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 (Commodity) does not align with the state and local procurement activity currently posted under this code. The recent opportunities tagged to this Commodity code show no purchase of dental carvers—hand instruments used in dental restorative and orthodontic work. Instead, the solicitations captured include a sole-source acquisition of iTero Lumina intraoral digital scanners by Valencia College's Dental Hygiene Department, a master-order pool for general dental and medical equipment and supplies issued by Texas A&M University's procurement office, and a cyanide flow analyzer procurement by the City of Arlington for wastewater treatment. The mismatch suggests either data-classification inconsistency in the source systems or that dental carvers are not currently being actively solicited by state and local bodies.

The geographic activity associated with this code is limited to Texas and Florida based on the recent postings. Valencia College (Florida) posted its scanner procurement in October 2026 with a due date of November 27, 2025 (a historical record), seeking $143,196 for four units exclusively from Align Technology, Inc under a sole-source justification. Texas A&M University and the City of Arlington both issued solicitations in August 2026—the former seeking vendors for an ongoing master-order pool of dental and medical supplies (ITB TAMHSC-26-0648, due September 3, 2026), and the latter seeking proposals for specialized laboratory equipment (RFP 270014, due September 10, 2026). If dental carvers are being procured by state and local bodies, current activity is not reflected in this code's recent posting history.
