UNSPSC 42151689: Dental punches

In this classification, this commodity indicates a product that is an instrument for making a hole or indentation in some solid material or for driving out a foreign body in such material in a dental procedure. Most nations, for tariff and trade purposes, schedule these products under HS 901839.

UNSPSC 42151689 Dental punches (Commodity) does not align with recent state and local procurement activity under this code. The three most recent solicitations—iTero Lumina intraoral scanners from a college dental hygiene program, a dental and medical equipment master supply agreement from a university, and a cyanide flow analyzer for wastewater treatment—bear no relationship to dental punches, a hand instrument used in dental procedures. The code shows little relevant recent activity for traditional dental hand instruments or punches.

Valencia College's School of Allied Health, Dental Hygiene Department issued a sole source RFQ (Solicitation SS202620) in November 2025 for four iTero Lumina Scanners from Align Technology, Inc., budgeted at $143,196.00 and due November 27, 2025. Texas A&M University, Division of Finance Procurement Services, posted an ITB (TAMHSC-26-0648) in August 2026 for a pool of vendors to supply dental and medical equipment and supplies on a master order basis, with responses due September 3, 2026. The cyanide analyzer procurement from the City of Arlington, Texas (Solicitation 270014, due September 10, 2026) is unrelated to the code's nominal scope. Geographic activity appears limited to Texas and Florida based on the recent postings, with no evidence of broader state or regional concentration in dental punch procurement.
