UNSPSC 42152001: Bite wing holders

In this classification, this commodity indicates a product that holds a dental film for X-raying the crowns of upper and lower teeth simultaneously and that is held in place by a tab between the teeth. Most nations, for tariff and trade purposes, schedule these products under HS 901839.

UNSPSC 42152001 Bite wing holders (Commodity) sees minimal recent state and local procurement activity aligned with its nominal scope; the few recent opportunities tagged under this code involve dental and medical imaging equipment — specifically intraoral scanners, panoramic X-ray systems, and extended warranties for diagnostic imaging devices — rather than bite wing holders or related positioning accessories. Valencia College's School of Allied Health, Dental Hygiene Department posted a sole-source procurement in November 2025 for 4 iTero Lumina Scanners from Align Technology, Inc, valued at $143,196.00 under Florida Administrative Code 6A-14.0734(2)(a)(h), and the Texas Health and Human Services Commission issued two IFBs in June 2026 for VATECH PAX-I panoramic X-ray systems at Rusk State Hospital. These solicitations represent the actual goods being acquired under the code — advanced dental imaging technology and associated equipment — not traditional bite wing positioning devices.

Recent activity appears concentrated in Florida and Texas, with additional solicitation interest from California (State of California and California Department of Homeland Security) and Escambia County, Florida. The issuing bodies include state health agencies, state colleges, county corrections departments, and county aviation authorities. No standout repeat buyers emerge from the available opportunities. The Valencia College sole-source procurement for iTero Lumina Scanners (posted November 18, 2025, due November 27, 2025) and the Texas HHSC IFB HHS0017400 for a VATECH PAX-I system at Rusk State Hospital (posted June 12, 2026, due June 22, 2026, with addendum issued June 8, 2026) represent the clearest recent examples. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the imaging-equipment focus of actual recent solicitations suggests either miscoding by issuing bodies or that the code has drifted from its original intent in practice.
