UNSPSC 42151640: Dental tweezers

In this classification, this commodity indicates a product that is an elongated pair of tweezer that are used in dental procedures. US FDA regulates Dental tweezers under 21 CFR 872.4565 and under FDA product code EFL. Most nations, for tariff and trade purposes, schedule these products under HS 901890.

UNSPSC 42151640 Dental tweezers is a Commodity code that does not align with the recent state and local procurement activity tagged under it. The single recent opportunity in the dataset—Valencia College's School of Allied Health, Dental Hygiene Department's sole source procurement for four iTero Lumina Scanners from Align Technology, Inc.—involves advanced 3D intraoral imaging devices for dental clinical and educational use, not hand instruments or tweezers. The posting and response dates in the source are internally inconsistent (posted April 13, 2026, with a due date of November 27, 2025), creating ambiguity about the actual solicitation timeline. State and local governments solicit dental equipment and supplies across multiple UNSPSC codes, but this specific code shows little relevant recent activity.

Valencia College is the only issuing body visible in recent postings under this code. The procurement, valued at $143,196.00, was processed as a sole source acquisition under Florida Administrative Code 6A-14.0734(2)(a)(h) and Florida Statute 287.057, with a seven-business-day public notice period before final approval. No set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises are mentioned. The lack of multiple recent opportunities, competing issuing bodies, or geographic diversity across jurisdictions limits visibility into actual demand patterns for products nominally classified under this code. Business development professionals should verify the correct UNSPSC classification for dental instruments and scanning technology relevant to their offering before pursuing procurement under this category.
