UNSPSC 42152444: Gingival retraction liquids

In this classification, this commodity indicates a product that is liquid based and applied to gingival tissues to move them away from the focused area in a dental restoration procedure. Gingival retraction liquids under 21 CFR and under FDA product code NYF. Most nations, for tariff and trade purposes, schedule these products under HS 300640.

UNSPSC 42152444 Gingival retraction liquids is a Commodity code that encompasses pharmaceuticals and supplies for emergency medical services, though recent state and local solicitations under this code reflect a much broader scope than the nominal product category suggests. The City of Tucson Fire Department's August 2026 RFP (Solicitation 260217) tagged under this code requests BLS and ALS pharmaceuticals and supplies including glucometers, oxygen delivery equipment, IV administration sets, airway management devices, suction equipment, medications, diagnostic equipment, and inventory management software and vending machines — a procurement spanning 251 line items with estimated annual usage quantities ranging from 1 to 120,000 units. This represents a mismatch between the code's narrow nominal scope and the actual work being solicited; the recent opportunity is fundamentally a comprehensive EMS supply-chain and inventory-management contract rather than a specialized dental product.

The City of Tucson Fire Department issued the only recent opportunity identified under this code. The solicitation carries federal compliance requirements including prevailing wage, Davis-Bacon, DBE participation, Buy America, and Section 3 labor provisions (25 percent of labor hours from low- and very low-income workers, with 5 percent from targeted Section 3 workers) because the procurement is funded through ARPA, HUD, and FTA grants. The successful contractor must be licensed with the Arizona State Board of Pharmacy as a wholesaler and comply with FDA, DEA, and Drug Supply Chain Security Act regulations. Delivery and service requirements include a minimum 95 percent fill rate, 48-hour order turnaround with emergency same-day delivery capability, and retention of existing VendNovation software and Operative IQ inventory management systems. The contract term runs one year from award with City options to extend for up to four additional one-year periods. The code shows limited recent activity under its stated commodity scope; the single active Tucson opportunity appears to have been miscoded or tagged as a catch-all for a complex EMS supply agreement.
