UNSPSC 42151636: Dental scalers

In this classification, this commodity indicates a product that are spatulas shaped to be useful in dental procedures. US FDA regulates Dental scalers under 21 CFR 872.4840 and under FDA product code ELB. Most nations, for tariff and trade purposes, schedule these products under HS 901849.

UNSPSC 42151636 Dental scalers is a Commodity code covering specialized dental diagnostic and treatment equipment, though recent state and local procurement activity under this code shows minimal direct relevance — the sole documented opportunity involves iTero Lumina intraoral scanners, which are imaging devices rather than scalers. Valencia College's School of Allied Health, Dental Hygiene Department posted a sole source procurement in November 2025 for four iTero Lumina Scanners from Align Technology, Inc, valued at $143,196.00 total, under Florida Administrative Code and Florida Statute 287.057. The narrow, institution-specific nature of this acquisition and the absence of broader competitive solicitation patterns suggest limited active procurement volume under this Commodity code among state and local buyers. The code shows insufficient recent activity to characterize a meaningful issuing-body mix or establish issuing bodies as repeat buyers.

Geographic activity is concentrated in Florida, where Valencia College conducted the sole recent documented procurement under this code. No other state or local opportunities appear in the record, and the single Florida solicitation was a specialized educational equipment purchase rather than routine dental hygiene supplies or services. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope (dental scalers) and the actual recent procurement (intraoral imaging scanners) indicates this Commodity code may be misaligned with the equipment being acquired, or the code sees minimal state and local procurement activity overall. Business development professionals should verify whether this code accurately reflects their product or service offering before pursuing opportunities under it; the thin recent activity and the single outlier opportunity suggest the code may not be actively monitored or regularly used by state and local procurement offices.
