UNSPSC 42151642 Gingivectomy knives is a Commodity code that in practice covers specialized dental surgical instruments and digital imaging equipment for educational and clinical dental programs. State and local procurement under this code reflects institutional dental education needs rather than a narrow focus on hand instruments alone. The issuing bodies soliciting under the code include higher-education institutions operating dental hygiene and clinical programs, such as community colleges and university dental schools. The scope spans from traditional gingivectomy and periodontal surgical tools to advanced diagnostic imaging technology integrated into dental hygiene curricula and patient care workflows.

Recent activity shows limited volume. Valencia College's School of Allied Health, Dental Hygiene Department posted a sole-source RFQ (SS202620) on April 13, 2026 (with an original November 27, 2025 due date) for four iTero Lumina Scanners from Align Technology, Inc at $143,196.00 total. The procurement was conducted under Florida Administrative Code 6A-14.0734(2)(a)(h) and Florida Statute 287.057, with no explicit set-aside designations. Florida appears as the primary recent jurisdiction for this code. The narrow transaction size and institution-specific sole-source structure suggest limited competitive opportunity under this Commodity code; procurement activity here tracks to specialized educational equipment adoption rather than recurring consumable demand.
