UNSPSC 42151687: Dental insulating pens

In this classification, this commodity indicates a product that is a dental instrument that effectively separates plaster or epoxy from veneering composites. Most nations, for tariff and trade purposes, schedule these products under HS 901839.

UNSPSC 42151687 Dental insulating pens (Commodity) shows minimal recent state and local procurement activity directly aligned with the code's nominal scope. The single recent opportunity posted under this code—Valencia College's School of Allied Health, Dental Hygiene Department's sole-source procurement in November 2025—involved iTero Lumina digital intraoral scanners from Align Technology, Inc, a 3D imaging device for dental applications rather than insulating pens. The mismatch between the code title and the actual solicitation suggests either miscoding by the issuing body or a narrow application of the code to dental equipment procurement that does not reflect typical state and local buying under this Commodity classification.

Valencia College, a Florida state educational institution, posted the opportunity as a sole-source procurement under Florida Administrative Code 6A-14.0734(2)(a)(h) for four scanner units totaling $143,196.00, with a response deadline of November 27, 2025. No other recent state and local solicitations under this code appear in the current opportunity set, indicating minimal market activity. Until additional opportunities under 42151687 emerge in more typical dental supply categories, the code warrants a watch rather than active pursuit, as the single data point does not establish a repeatable procurement pattern.
