UNSPSC 42151620: Dental files or rasps

In this classification, this commodity indicates a product that are files or rasps shaped to be useful in dental procedures. US FDA regulates Dental files or rasps under 21 CFR 872.4565 and under FDA product code EKS. Most nations, for tariff and trade purposes, schedule these products under HS 901849.

UNSPSC 42151620 Dental files or rasps is a Commodity code that captures specialized dental instrumentation and imaging equipment purchased by state and local health education institutions. The recent posting under this code, however, reflects a significant mismatch between the code's nominal scope and actual procurement activity: Valencia College's School of Allied Health, Dental Hygiene Department solicited four iTero Lumina Scanners—advanced 3D digital intraoral imaging devices—rather than traditional manual dental files or rasps. This equipment supports clinical training and patient care within dental hygiene education programs. The issuing body is a state college system, representing the kinds of public health education institutions that drive activity under related dental equipment codes, though the specific commodity classification appears misaligned with the advanced imaging technology actually being acquired.

Valencia College posted the iTero Lumina Scanner procurement (Solicitation Number SS202620) on April 13, 2026, under Florida Administrative Code 6A-14.0734(2)(a)(h) as a sole source acquisition with a total cost of $143,196.00 for four units from Align Technology, Inc. The notice was originally posted November 18, 2025, with a November 27, 2025 due date, reflecting a seven business day public posting process under Florida's sole source procedures. No recent opportunities under this code showing traditional dental hand instruments or competitive procurement activity appear in the source, and the single posted opportunity suggests the code may be underutilized or misapplied for the actual procurement categories state and local health education institutions are using for dental equipment purchases.
