UNSPSC 42151682: Endodontic broaches

In this classification, this commodity indicates a product that are endodontic instruments used to remove pulp tissue during root canal procedures. Most nations, for tariff and trade purposes, schedule these products under HS 901839.

UNSPSC 42151682 Endodontic broaches is a Commodity code that in recent state and local procurement activity covers dental scanning equipment and ancillary dental and medical supplies rather than hand instruments for root canal work. The recent opportunities block shows educational institutions and municipalities soliciting under this code for 3D intraoral scanners, master-order dental and medical equipment pools, and wastewater monitoring devices—a scope that diverges substantially from the nominal code title. Issuing bodies include a state college system (Valencia College's School of Allied Health), a university procurement office (Texas A&M University Division of Finance), and a municipal utilities department (City of Arlington). The code appears to be used inconsistently across jurisdictions, with at least one opportunity (the cyanide flow analyzer) plainly unrelated to dental or endodontic products.

Recent activity is concentrated in Texas and Florida. Valencia College's School of Allied Health, Dental Hygiene Department posted a sole-source procurement (SS202620) on October 19, 2026 for four iTero Lumina Scanners from Align Technology, Inc totaling $143,196.00, with a response date of November 27, 2025. Texas A&M University Division of Finance Procurement Services issued an ITB (TAMHSC-26-0648) on August 20, 2026 for a pool of vendors to supply dental and medical equipment and supplies, with bids due September 3, 2026. The code shows limited relevant recent activity; the third opportunity in the block (City of Arlington's cyanide flow analyzer, RFP 270014, due September 10, 2026) indicates potential miscoding or category drift within this UNSPSC assignment.
