UNSPSC 42151637: Dental scales

In this classification, this commodity indicates a product that are scales shaped to be useful in dental procedures. Most nations, for tariff and trade purposes, schedule these products under HS 901811.

UNSPSC 42151637 Dental scales is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local activity under this designation shows minimal relevant procurement — the single recent opportunity posted is actually for digital intraoral scanning equipment rather than traditional or electronic dental scales. Valencia College's School of Allied Health, Dental Hygiene Department issued a sole source procurement (SS202620) in November 2025 for 4 iTero Lumina Scanners from Align Technology, Inc., at a total cost of $143,196.00. This acquisition represents specialized 3D imaging technology for dental and orthodontic clinical and educational use, not scale devices. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the actual solicitation suggests either a tagging error in the state and local procurement system or that the code has shifted to capture advanced digital imaging equipment in dental settings.

The single recent opportunity came from a Florida higher education institution (Valencia College), suggesting that if any dental-scales activity exists under this code, it may be concentrated in academic and clinical dental programs rather than broader medical purchasing. Without additional opportunities in the recent-opportunities block, no reliable geographic pattern or repeat-buyer characterization is available. The code shows insufficient recent activity to support a pursue decision based on established solicitation patterns.
