UNSPSC 42151634: Dental root tip picks

In this classification, this commodity indicates a product that is used as an extraction device and method for extracting some or all of a tooth from a patient. Most nations, for tariff and trade purposes, schedule these products under HS 901839.

UNSPSC 42151634 Dental root tip picks is a Commodity code whose recent activity does not align with its nominal scope. The solicitations tagged under this code are instead acquiring dental imaging scanners, intraoral scanning technology, and laboratory equipment — products and services that fall outside the consumable hand-tool category the code name describes. Valencia College's School of Allied Health, Dental Hygiene Department issued a sole-source procurement for iTero Lumina Scanners from Align Technology, Inc., and Texas A&M University's Division of Finance Procurement Services opened bidding for a master-order pool of dental and medical equipment and supplies. A third opportunity — the City of Arlington's request for a cyanide flow analyzer for wastewater treatment — is unrelated to dental practice and appears to be miscoded. The issuing bodies in the recent record are higher-education institutions (a community college and a state university) rather than the county health departments, municipal health services, or school district dental programs that would typically drive demand for routine consumable dental supplies.

The geographic spread is limited to Florida and Texas based on the recent opportunities. No state or local jurisdiction has posted multiple solicitations under this code in the recent period, and the activity is sparse. The most concrete opportunity is Valencia College's iTero Lumina acquisition, a $143,196.00 sole-source procurement certified by Kellie Robertson, Assistant Director of Procurement, with a due date of November 27, 2025 (noted under Florida Administrative Code 6A-14.0734(2)(a)(h) and Florida Statute 287.057). Given the mismatch between the code's intended scope and the nature of the recent opportunities, this code appears to carry little decision-relevant activity for firms pursuing traditional dental consumables in state and local procurement.
