UNSPSC 42151673: Dental mallets

In this classification, this commodity indicates a product that is used as a mallet in dental intraoral procedures. Most nations, for tariff and trade purposes, schedule these products under HS 392690.

UNSPSC 42151673 Dental mallets is a Commodity code that covers specialized dental equipment and instruments, though recent state and local procurement activity under this code shows minimal relevance to the nominal scope. The single recent opportunity on record—Valencia College's School of Allied Health, Dental Hygiene Department procurement for 4 iTero Lumina Scanners from Align Technology, Inc.—represents a sole source acquisition of advanced 3D digital intraoral imaging devices rather than traditional dental mallets or hand instruments. The procurement was conducted under Florida Administrative Code and Florida Statute 287.057 and carries a total acquisition cost of $143,196.00. State and local issuing bodies under this code appear limited; the recent activity shows only educational institutions (specifically, a Florida community college's dental hygiene program) pursuing specialized clinical and educational dental equipment. No set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises were noted in the documentation.

Geographic activity is concentrated in Florida, with Valencia College in Florida representing the sole recent issuer identified. The iTero Lumina Scanner procurement was originally posted on November 18, 2025, with a formal due date of November 27, 2025, and followed a seven business day public posting process for sole source justification review. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope (dental mallets—manual striking instruments) and the actual recent procurement (3D imaging scanners—digital diagnostic devices) suggests that this Commodity code shows little recent relevant activity aligned with traditional dental hand tools or small instruments. Prospective vendors should verify code assignments with issuing bodies, as scanner and imaging equipment acquisitions may be tagged inconsistently across state and local procurement systems.
