UNSPSC 42152512: Dental tongs

operates as tongs to grab and hold dental instruments and appliances while maintaining a sterilized condition. Most nations, for tariff and trade purposes, schedule these products under HS 901819.

UNSPSC 42152512 Dental tongs is a Commodity code that in recent state and local procurement captures digital intraoral scanning equipment and related diagnostic imaging devices for dental and orthodontic clinical and educational use, rather than hand instruments in the traditional sense. Valencia College's School of Allied Health, Dental Hygiene Department pursued a sole source procurement under Florida Administrative Code for four iTero Lumina Scanners from Align Technology, Inc.—advanced 3D imaging devices that create digital representations of patients' teeth and gums for clinical diagnosis and training purposes. State and local buyers under this code include public higher-education institutions with dental and allied health programs; the recent activity sample is limited to one documented opportunity, so issuing-body concentration cannot be reliably characterized.

Geographic activity under the code is concentrated in Florida based on the single recent solicitation from Valencia College. The procurement (Solicitation SS202620, originally posted November 18, 2025, with a due date of November 27, 2025) was a sole source notice with a total acquisition cost of $143,196.00 for the four scanner units. The notice followed a seven-business-day public posting process under Florida's sole source justification framework. The code shows sparse recent activity in the available records; additional opportunities across other states or issuing bodies are not present in the source material.
