UNSPSC 42151624: Dental handpieces

In this classification, this commodity indicates a product that consist of handpieces and handles that are used in dental procedures. US FDA regulates Dental handpieces under 21 CFR 872.4120 and under FDA product code KMW. Most nations, for tariff and trade purposes, schedule these products under HS 901849.

UNSPSC 42151624 Dental handpieces (Commodity) covers specialized dental equipment and devices, though recent state and local solicitations under this code show limited activity focused on high-end diagnostic imaging rather than traditional handpieces. Valencia College's School of Allied Health, Dental Hygiene Department posted a sole source procurement for 4 iTero Lumina Scanners, advanced 3D intraoral imaging devices used for creating digital representations of patients' teeth and gums in clinical and educational settings. The issuing body is a state educational institution — a community college dental hygiene program — rather than a health department or hospital system, suggesting that dental education entities may be a key buyer under this code. The procurement was conducted as a sole source acquisition under Florida Administrative Code and Florida Statute, with no competitive bidding process and no stated set-aside designations.

The code shows recent activity in Florida. Valencia College's procurement (SS202620), posted April 13, 2026, with a response deadline of November 27, 2025, carried a total acquisition cost of $143,196.00 for the four scanner units and identified Align Technology, Inc as the exclusive source for the specific iTero Lumina Scanner model. The narrow, institution-specific nature of this solicitation and the sole source justification reflect a targeted acquisition pattern that may limit competitive opportunities under this code; business development professionals should monitor whether broader multi-unit or system-level dental equipment procurements emerge in Florida or other states to assess activity levels.
