UNSPSC 42151701: Dental examination chairs

In this classification, this commodity indicates a product that is used as a dental examination chair. US FDA regulates dental examination chairs or related parts under 21 CFR 872.6250 and under FDA product code EIA. Most nations, for tariff and trade purposes, schedule dental examination chairs under HS 940290.

UNSPSC 42151701 Dental examination chairs, a Commodity code, covers equipment acquisitions by state agencies and technical colleges for dental facilities and educational programs. The work being solicited under this code centers on branded dental examination chairs—primarily ADEC model chairs with associated delivery systems, stools, and ancillary equipment such as compressors and vacuum systems. Buyers under this code include state health and human services commissions (particularly those operating state-supported living facilities), technical college systems operating dental programs, and state health departments. The typical procurement involves firm, fixed-price IFBs or RFQs for single-unit or small-quantity purchases of manufacturer-specified equipment with no substitutions permitted, coupled with delivery and installation at designated state facilities.

Recent activity concentrates in the South, with Texas and Georgia posting opportunities in the second quarter of 2026. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission issued two iterations of IFB HHS0017444 for dental equipment at the Denton State Supported Living Center—the first closing June 22, 2026, the second (v2) closing July 8, 2026 at 10:30 A.M. Central Time—each specifying ADEC 511 chairs, delivery systems, stools, compressors, and vacuums with an historical spend baseline of $46,808.94 through August 31, 2026 and a contract term running September 1, 2026 through August 31, 2027 plus one one-year extension option. The Technical College System of Georgia issued an RFQ (82200ATT0000068) on behalf of Athens Technical College for ADEC Dental Chairs and Stools at the Athens Campus, with responses due May 12, 2026. Award under recent Texas solicitations applies best-value criteria rather than lowest price, with HUB subcontracting plans encouraged but not required, and responses remain firm for 240 days from submission.
