UNSPSC 42152445: Tooth facing or backing sets

In this classification, this commodity indicates a product that provides for the restoration of frontal or back facing teeth.

UNSPSC 42152445 Tooth facing or backing sets, a Commodity code, addresses specialized dental prosthetic components that state and local governments procure through health departments, dental clinics, and corrections facilities. The code covers pre-fabricated or custom tooth-facing materials and backing systems used in restorative and cosmetic dentistry — components typically integrated into dentures, bridges, partials, and other dental appliances rather than purchased as standalone finished products. State and local procurement under this code reflects institutional dental service delivery, including routine prosthetic repair and replacement, inmate dental care in correctional systems, and public health clinic operations.

The source provides no recent state and local contract opportunities tagged to this code. Without posted solicitations, issuing-body concentration, geographic spread, and representative recent work cannot be characterized from current market signals. Absence of recent activity under this Commodity code may indicate that state and local dental procurement typically routes prosthetic components through broader dental-supply or dental-services codes, or that institutional dental programs source these materials through standing contracts or cooperative purchasing agreements that do not generate visible RFP, RFQ, IFB, or ITB notices.
