UNSPSC 42152520: Dental cuspidors

In this classification, this commodity indicates a product that is a fixture provided on some dental operating units into which patients can expectorate. US FDA regulates Dental cuspidors under 21 CFR 872.6640 and under FDA product code NRD. Most nations, for tariff and trade purposes, schedule these products under HS 901819.

UNSPSC 42152520 Dental cuspidors, a Commodity code, shows minimal recent alignment with its nominal scope. State and local governments procure dental equipment and supplies under this code, but the single recent opportunity on record — Valencia College's sole source acquisition of four iTero Lumina intraoral scanners from Align Technology, Inc for $143,196.00 — represents digital imaging diagnostic equipment rather than cuspidors (dental waste and rinse basins). The scanner procurement reflects educational institution investment in advanced 3D dental imaging technology for clinical training and patient care applications in a dental hygiene program, but the mismatch between the code's abstract name and actual solicitation activity suggests either misclassification in the state procurement system or extremely limited recent activity in true cuspidor purchasing.

Valencia College's School of Allied Health posted the sole source notice on November 18, 2025, with a response deadline of November 27, 2025, under Florida Statute 287.057 and Florida Administrative Code 6A-14.0734(2)(a)(h). The procurement indicates Florida educational institutions as the current user base, though the single opportunity provides insufficient evidence of geographic or issuing-body concentration. No recent opportunities document purchasing by counties, cities, school districts outside higher education, or transit authorities under this code. Given the scarcity of recent activity and the category mismatch in the available record, this code warrants monitoring for actual cuspidor procurement activity at state and local health departments, public health clinics, and school districts with dental programs, but current sourcing signals are weak.
