UNSPSC 42151690: Dental tongue scrapers

In this classification, this commodity indicates a product that is a tool used to help clean your tongue. Most nations, for tariff and trade purposes, schedule these products under HS 901839.

UNSPSC 42151690 Dental tongue scrapers is a Commodity code that captures specialized dental equipment and supplies, though recent state and local procurement activity under this code shows a significant mismatch between the nominal product scope and actual solicitation focus. The single recent opportunity posted — Valencia College's School of Allied Health, Dental Hygiene Department's sole source procurement for 4 iTero Lumina Scanners from Align Technology, Inc — centers on advanced 3D intraoral digital imaging technology rather than tongue scrapers. This procurement signals that state and local healthcare and educational institutions use this code to tag high-value dental diagnostic and clinical equipment acquisitions, not consumable hand tools. Issuing bodies pursuing this code include public college systems and educational health professions departments seeking specialized dental technology for both clinical practice and student training environments.

Valencia College posted its solicitation on November 18, 2025, with a due date of November 27, 2025, under Florida Administrative Code 6A-14.0734(2)(a)(h) and Florida Statute 287.057 for a total acquisition cost of $143,196.00. The procurement was conducted as a sole source acquisition, indicating that the iTero Lumina Scanner represents a unique technological solution not available from competing manufacturers. Activity under this code appears concentrated in Florida educational institutions at present; the source does not support identifying other states or recent comparable opportunities. The code shows limited recent activity overall, with procurement frequency and geographic spread difficult to characterize from a single recent solicitation.
