In this classification, this commodity indicates an instrument for prying up a sunken part, such as the depressed fragment of bone in fracture of the skull, or for elevating tissues from their attachment to bone in a dental procedure. Most nations, for tariff and trade purposes, schedule these products under HS 901849.

UNSPSC 42151618 Dental elevators is a Commodity code that in recent state and local procurement activity describes advanced dental diagnostic and imaging equipment rather than hand instruments — specifically intraoral scanning devices used for digital dentistry and orthodontic applications. State and local education agencies, particularly community colleges with dental hygiene and allied health programs, are the primary buyers under this code. Valencia College's School of Allied Health, Dental Hygiene Department solicited equipment through a sole source procurement process, indicating that specialized dental technology acquisitions often bypass competitive bidding when institutions require proprietary or brand-specific systems integrated with existing clinical infrastructure.

The recent activity is concentrated in Florida, where Valencia College posted a sole source notice (Solicitation Number SS202620, due November 27, 2025) for four iTero Lumina Scanners from Align Technology, Inc., valued at $143,196.00 total. 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 period for the sole source justification. No broader geographic or issuing-body pattern is evident from the available recent opportunities; this code shows limited recent state and local solicitation activity.
