UNSPSC 42151655: Dental pulp or vitality testers

In this classification, this commodity indicates a product that is a device that electronically ascertains the vitality of a tooth. US FDA regulates Dental pulp or vitality testers under 21 CFR 872.1730 and under FDA product code EAS. Most nations, for tariff and trade purposes, schedule these products under HS 901849.

UNSPSC 42151655 Dental pulp or vitality testers (Commodity) shows limited recent state and local procurement activity, and the available opportunities reveal a significant mismatch between the code's nominal scope and what is actually being bought. The three recent postings include two purchases—a sole-source acquisition of iTero Lumina intraoral scanners by Valencia College and a master-order agreement for dental and medical equipment and supplies by Texas A&M University—that relate tangentially to dental equipment but do not match the specific product definition (diagnostic devices to test nerve vitality in teeth). A third posting, the City of Arlington's cyanide flow analyzer for wastewater treatment, is unrelated to dental equipment altogether and appears to be miscoded.

The relevant dental procurement shows issuing bodies limited to higher-education institutions with dental or health-science programs. Valencia College's School of Allied Health, Dental Hygiene Department posted a sole-source RFP (SS202620) on October 19, 2026, for four iTero Lumina Scanners from Align Technology, Inc., with a total cost of $143,196.00 and a due date of November 27, 2025. Texas A&M University's Division of Finance Procurement Services posted an ITB (TAMHSC-26-0648) on August 20, 2026, for a pool of vendors to supply dental and medical equipment and supplies on a master-order basis, with responses due September 3, 2026. Recent activity concentrates in Texas and Florida. The code itself does not present sufficient volume or accuracy of tagging to support confident market sizing or targeting at this time.
