UNSPSC 42151615: Dental cryosurgical units

In this classification, this commodity indicates a product that is used as a cryosurgical unit in dental procedures. US FDA regulates Dental cryosurgical units under 21 CFR 878.4350 and under FDA product code FAZ. Most nations, for tariff and trade purposes, schedule these products under HS 901890.

UNSPSC 42151615 Dental cryosurgical units is a Commodity-tier code that in recent state and local procurement activity covers specialized dental diagnostic and treatment equipment, though the opportunities posted do not align tightly with the code's nominal scope. The Valencia College procurement solicited four iTero Lumina intraoral scanners—advanced 3D imaging devices for digital tooth and gum scanning used in dental and orthodontic clinical education—through a sole-source notice to Align Technology, Inc. The Texas A&M University solicitation established a broader master-order agreement for a pool of vendors supplying dental and medical equipment and supplies on demand, creating standing capacity rather than a discrete purchase. State and local issuing bodies pursuing equipment under this code include higher-education institutions (Valencia College's School of Allied Health, Dental Hygiene Department; Texas A&M University's Division of Finance Procurement Services) and municipal utilities (though the City of Arlington's cyanide flow analyzer falls outside dental scope and represents a coding mismatch).

Recent activity centers in Texas and Florida, with the two substantively relevant dental opportunities posted in August and October 2026. Valencia College's sole-source procurement of $143,196.00 closed November 27, 2025, under Florida Administrative Code 6A-14.0734(2)(a)(h) and Florida Statute 287.057, following a seven-business-day public posting for sole-source justification review. The Texas A&M ITB for a dental and medical equipment supply pool (TAMHSC-26-0648) closed September 3, 2026, and required electronic bidding through the AggieBid portal with registration and regular monitoring for addenda. Neither procurement carried explicit set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises. The code shows limited recent activity overall, and the scope mismatch in the Arlington wastewater-analyzer posting suggests that state and local procurement offices are tagging equipment acquisitions to this code inconsistently or that the code's definition has drifted from actual buying patterns.
