UNSPSC 42151676: Dental knives

In this classification, this commodity indicates a product that are used as knives in dental procedures. US FDA regulates Dental knives under 21 CFR 872.4565 and under FDA product code DZN. Most nations, for tariff and trade purposes, schedule these products under HS 901890.

UNSPSC 42151676 Dental knives (Commodity) shows minimal recent state and local procurement activity aligned with the code's nominal scope. The three recent opportunities posted under this code reflect a significant mismatch: Valencia College's School of Allied Health solicited four iTero Lumina intraoral scanners (3D digital imaging devices for dental education), Texas A&M University Division of Finance sought bids for a master vendor pool to supply dental and medical equipment and supplies on an on-demand basis, and the City of Arlington, Texas requested proposals for a cyanide flow analyzer for wastewater treatment operations. Only the Valencia College and Texas A&M opportunities bear any connection to dental procurement; the Arlington wastewater analyzer is plainly unrelated to dental instrumentation. The code does not reflect active state and local demand for dental cutting instruments or blades.

Recent activity spans Florida and Texas, with solicitations issued by a public college, a university procurement office, and a municipal government. Valencia College's School of Allied Health posted a sole-source procurement on October 19, 2026, for $143,196.00 under Florida Administrative Code provisions, due November 27, 2025 (note: the posted date and due date appear inconsistent in the source). Texas A&M University Division of Finance issued an ITB on August 20, 2026, due September 3, 2026, establishing a standing vendor pool for dental and medical equipment and supplies through the AggieBid portal. Neither opportunity reflects competitive demand for dental knives specifically, and the code shows insufficient recent activity to support a meaningful pursue recommendation at this time.
