UNSPSC 42152412: Dental baseplate or casting waxes or shellacs

In this classification, this commodity indicates a product that is used in the construction of metal dental castings. These are divided into wax or shellac based preparations. US FDA regulates Dental baseplate or casting waxes or shellacs under 21 CFR 872.6890 and under FDA product code EGD. Most nations, for tariff and trade purposes, schedule these products under HS 901839.

UNSPSC 42152412 Dental baseplate or casting waxes or shellacs, a Commodity code, shows no recent state and local procurement activity aligned with its nominal scope. The most recent opportunities tagged under this code—including intraoral digital scanners (Valencia College), X-ray equipment warranties (Escambia County), X-ray maintenance services (Broward County Aviation Department), panoramic X-ray systems (Texas Health and Human Services Commission and State of California), and wireless communication solutions (California Department of Homeland Security)—represent dental imaging and diagnostic equipment or unrelated technology services, not baseplate waxes, casting waxes, or shellacs used in denture fabrication or prosthodontic lab work. The mismatch between the code's intended commodity category and the actual solicitations suggests either systematic miscoding by the issuing jurisdictions or that the code is dormant for state and local procurement purposes.

The six opportunities span Florida (Valencia College sole-source iTero scanner acquisition; Escambia County Correction X-ray warranty), Florida and Arizona (Broward County RFI on Rapiscan maintenance), Texas (Health and Human Services Commission, two separate IFBs for VATECH panoramic X-ray systems with closing dates in June 2026), and California (State panoramic imaging and Department of Homeland Security wireless procurement). No state or local jurisdiction has recently issued an RFP, RFQ, IFB, or ITB for dental baseplate materials, casting waxes, or shellacs under this code. Business development professionals should treat this code as inactive for current state and local opportunity pursuit and verify correct coding with issuing bodies if dental lab materials surface in future procurements.
