UNSPSC 42152002: Dental x-ray bite blocks or wings or tabs

In this classification, this commodity indicates a product that wither in block, wing or tab form provides an impression of a dental bite. US FDA regulates Dental bite blocks or wings or tabs under 21 CFR 876.15 and under FDA product code MNK. Most nations, for tariff and trade purposes, schedule these products under HS 901839.

UNSPSC 42152002 Dental x-ray bite blocks or wings or tabs is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local contract opportunities posted under this code do not reflect purchases of bite blocks, wings, or tabs. Instead, the solicitations document state and local governments acquiring high-end diagnostic imaging equipment—intraoral and panoramic x-ray scanners, extended warranties on x-ray machines, and specialized x-ray inspection systems—along with associated software, sensors, and maintenance services. The scope of work actually being solicited includes acquisition of iTero Lumina intraoral scanners for dental education, VATECH PAX-I panoramic x-ray systems for hospital use, ProMax S2 panoramic equipment, Rapiscan x-ray inspection systems for airport security, and related installation, training, and extended warranty coverage. Issuing bodies include state health and human services agencies (Texas HHSC, California DHS), state higher-education institutions (Valencia College, Florida), county correction and aviation departments (Escambia County, Broward County), and specialized public health facilities (Rusk State Hospital). The code shows a mismatch between its nominal scope and current procurement activity; bite blocks and wings are low-value consumables or small attachments, whereas all recent opportunities tag high-value capital imaging equipment and services.

Recent activity concentrates in Florida and Texas, with California state procurement also visible. Representative recent solicitations include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0017400 for a VATECH PAX-I panoramic x-ray system with sensors and software for Rusk State Hospital, due June 22, 2026, with historical spend of $54,277.95; Valencia College's sole-source procurement (SS202620) for four iTero Lumina Scanners from Align Technology, Inc, totaling $143,196.00, due November 27, 2025; the California State procurement RFB-IS-26201004 for ProMax S2 Panoramic equipment, due June 19, 2026, with Amendment 01 posted June 4, 2026; and Broward County Aviation Department's RFI (BLD2132311F1) posted June 25, 2026 to determine whether Rapiscan x-ray inspection system maintenance is available from sources other than the manufacturer, due July 28, 2026. This code warrants attention only for vendors in dental imaging equipment, panoramic x-ray systems, intraoral scanners, or specialized x-ray technology; suppliers of consumable bite blocks or attachment components will find limited relevant activity.
