UNSPSC 42151613: Dental burnishers

In this classification, this commodity indicates a product that is a hand held dental instrument that is used to make the filling of a tooth shinier. US FDA regulates Dental burnishers under 21 CFR 872.4565 and under FDA product code EKJ. Most nations, for tariff and trade purposes, schedule these products under HS 901849.

UNSPSC 42151613 Dental burnishers (Commodity) encompasses hand instruments and specialized equipment used in dental practice and education, though recent state and local procurement activity under this code shows limited relevance to the nominal category name. Valencia College's School of Allied Health, Dental Hygiene Department posted a sole-source procurement for 4 iTero Lumina Scanners—advanced 3D digital intraoral imaging devices—totaling $143,196.00 under Florida Administrative Code 6A-14.0734(2)(a)(h) and Florida Statute 287.057. The procurement, conducted by Valencia College's procurement office, illustrates that state and local agencies buying under this code tier are primarily educational institutions with clinical dental programs, though the scanner acquisition represents a significant divergence from traditional hand instrument categories.

The recent activity concentrates in Florida, with Valencia College's April 2026 posting (response due November 27, 2025) as the visible recent state and local opportunity under this Commodity code. The sole-source structure and narrow institutional focus—targeting exclusively Align Technology, Inc as the provider—suggests limited ongoing competitive procurement activity at the state and local level under this code in the current cycle. The $143,196.00 budget reflects investment in diagnostic imaging technology rather than manual instruments, signaling that procurement offices tagging activity to this code may be using a broad or outdated taxonomy mapping.
