UNSPSC 42152453: Dental restorative compounds

In this classification, this commodity indicates a product that are either a plastic or ceramic compound used in the filling of damaged teeth. Dental restorative compounds under 21 CFR and under FDA product code NSM. Most nations, for tariff and trade purposes, schedule these products under HS 300640.

UNSPSC 42152453 Dental restorative compounds (Commodity) does not align with current state and local procurement activity under this code, which shows little relevant recent solicitation. The sole recent opportunity tagged under the code—the City of Tucson Fire Department's BLS/ALS Pharmaceuticals, Supplies, and Distribution RFP (Solicitation 260217, due June 24, 2026)—solicits emergency medical supplies, vending machines, software licensing, and inventory management services for paramedics and EMTs, not dental restorative materials. The scope includes glucometers, oxygen delivery equipment, IV administration sets, airway management devices, suction equipment, medications, and diagnostic equipment alongside VendNovation EMS platform software, smart lockers, and repair services. This mismatch suggests the code may have been applied erroneously or the code taxonomy does not capture the actual procurement activity in the dataset.

The Tucson opportunity required compliance with prevailing wage, Davis-Bacon, DBE participation, Buy America, and Section 3 labor requirements (25 percent low- and very low-income workers, 5 percent from targeted Section 3 workers), with evaluation weighted toward price, method of approach, and qualifications in that order. The contractor must maintain licensure with the Arizona State Board of Pharmacy, hold $1 million commercial general liability and professional liability insurance, and deliver orders within 48 hours with a 95 percent fill rate. Business development professionals evaluating this code should treat it as inactive for dental material procurement and monitor alternative UNSPSC classifications if dental supply opportunities are the target.
