UNSPSC 42151651: Dental tooth separators

In this classification, this commodity indicates a product that is used to separate teeth before placing orthodontic molar bands. Most nations, for tariff and trade purposes, schedule these products under HS 901839.

UNSPSC 42151651 Dental tooth separators is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local procurement activity under this code shows minimal direct alignment with the code's nominal scope. Valencia College's School of Allied Health, Dental Hygiene Department posted a sole source procurement in April 2026 for iTero Lumina Scanners—advanced 3D intraoral imaging devices—rather than tooth separators per se. The college is acquiring four scanner units from Align Technology, Inc. at a total cost of $143,196.00 for clinical and educational use in its dental hygiene program. The procurement was conducted under Florida Administrative Code 6A-14.0734(2)(a)(h) and Florida Statute 287.057, following a seven business day public posting process before final approval. No set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises were mentioned.

The source reflects activity limited to Florida and a single educational institution. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope (tooth separators) and the actual procurement (digital scanning technology) suggests either a classification artifact or a narrow application of this Commodity code in state and local systems. No other recent opportunities appear in the available records, indicating that tooth separator procurement—whether traditional mechanical separators or digital imaging tools—sees little recent activity in the state and local market, or that activity under this code is sparse and sporadic. Business development professionals should verify whether their product or service aligns with actual state and local buying patterns in this category before pursuing leads.
