UNSPSC 42151635: Dental saliva ejectors or oral suction devices

In this classification, this commodity indicates a product that evacuates saliva during dental procedures. US FDA regulates Dental saliva ejectors or oral suction devices under 21 CFR 872.6640 and under FDA product code DYN. Most nations, for tariff and trade purposes, schedule these products under HS 901839.

UNSPSC 42151635 Dental saliva ejectors or oral suction devices is a Commodity code that, based on recent state and local solicitation activity, encompasses dental imaging and scanning technology rather than the literal saliva-ejection devices the code name suggests. Valencia College's School of Allied Health, Dental Hygiene Department posted a sole-source procurement (SS202620) under this code for 4 iTero Lumina Scanners from Align Technology, Inc.—advanced 3D intraoral imaging devices used for digital dental and orthodontic applications—indicating that state and local education procurement offices are tagging specialized dental diagnostic and educational equipment under this commodity classification. The issuing bodies soliciting under the code appear to include public college systems and educational institutions with clinical dental programs; the recent activity signals procurement of high-value diagnostic equipment for teaching and patient-care settings rather than consumable dental supplies.

Activity under the code is concentrated in Florida, where Valencia College, a state college system institution, represents the most recent identified buyer. The sole-source procurement posted November 18, 2025, with a due date of November 27, 2025, carried a total acquisition cost of $143,196.00 and was processed under Florida Administrative Code 6A-14.0734(2)(a)(h) and Florida Statute 287.057. No competitive RFP, RFQ, or IFB activity appears in recent records; the limited visibility suggests either narrow application of this code to specialized imaging acquisitions or a mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the actual equipment being procured. Firms pursuing dental equipment sales to Florida's higher-education system and clinical dental programs should treat this code as a potential tagging vehicle for advanced intraoral scanning systems, though the recent opportunity count does not support broad procurement momentum under this classification.
