UNSPSC 42151658: Dental floss threaders

In this classification, this commodity indicates a product that are designed to thread dental floss under orthodontic braces, fixed bridges and dental implant. Most nations, for tariff and trade purposes, schedule these products under HS 901839.

UNSPSC 42151658 Dental floss threaders (Commodity) shows minimal relevant recent activity for state and local procurement. The single recent opportunity posted under this code — Valencia College's School of Allied Health, Dental Hygiene Department pursuing a sole source acquisition in November 2025 — involves iTero Lumina intraoral scanners from Align Technology, Inc, a product category entirely unrelated to the code's stated scope of dental floss threaders. The mismatch between the code designation and the actual procurement (advanced 3D dental imaging devices rather than oral hygiene accessories) indicates either a miscoding at the issuing body or a data alignment issue in the source.

The Valencia College solicitation represents an institution-specific, non-competitive procurement conducted under Florida Administrative Code and Florida Statute 287.057, with a sole source justification and a total acquisition cost of $143,196.00 for four scanner units. No other recent state or local opportunities under this Commodity code are present in the available record. Firms evaluating pursuit under UNSPSC 42151658 should verify the code's actual use in current procurement activity with issuing bodies before investing in bid preparation, as the code appears to see minimal or misaligned demand in the state and local market.
