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 is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity. The three most recent state and local opportunities tagged under this code span dental imaging scanners (iTero Lumina intraoral scanners), a broad dental and medical equipment supply pool, and a cyanide flow analyzer for wastewater treatment—none of which align with the nominal scope of dental burnishers, hand instruments used in dental restorative work. The mismatch suggests either tagging error or that state and local procurement offices are using this code to capture a wider range of dental equipment and supplies than the code name reflects. The issuing bodies include a public college (Valencia College, Florida), a major university health system (Texas A&M University), and a municipal utility department (City of Arlington, Texas), indicating fragmentation across institutional types and no clear repeat buyer pattern.

The recent opportunities span Florida and Texas. Valencia College's sole source procurement for four iTero Lumina Scanners totaled $143,196.00, with a due date of November 27, 2025, under an ITB notice. Texas A&M University issued an ITB (TAMHSC-26-0648) on August 20, 2026, with responses due September 3, 2026, for a master order pool of dental and medical equipment and supplies vendors, with bidding conducted through the AggieBid portal. The City of Arlington's August 12, 2026 RFP for a cyanide flow analyzer due September 10, 2026 appears to have been misfiled under this code. Until clearer recent activity emerges that tracks actual dental burnisher procurements, this code warrants monitoring for corrected or relabeled opportunities rather than immediate pursuit.
