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 (Commodity) addresses dental materials used in restorative procedures, though recent state and local solicitations show minimal activity specifically aligned with this code's scope. The City of Tucson Fire Department's June 2026 RFQ for BLS/ALS pharmaceuticals, supplies, and vending-machine services was tagged to this code but encompasses emergency medical supplies—glucometers, oxygen delivery equipment, IV administration sets, airway management devices, suction equipment, and medications—rather than gingival retraction materials used in dental practice. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and what is actually being procured under it suggests limited or irregular use of this commodity classification by state and local buyers, or possible miscoding by the issuing jurisdiction.

The Tucson solicitation represents the primary recent activity visible under this code, representing a single municipality (the City of Tucson, operating through its Fire Department and Police Department) in Arizona with a one-year contract term and City options for up to four additional one-year renewals. The RFQ emphasizes pharmaceutical wholesale licensing, FDA/DEA compliance, and inventory-management integration rather than dental materials. Given the narrow issuing-body base and the divergence between the code name and actual procurement content, this code does not appear to represent an active market segment for dental-specific suppliers at the state and local level currently.
