UNSPSC 42152606: Dental splints or sets

In this classification, this commodity indicates a product that creates a plastic splint or setting that reinforces and limits the location of teeth. US FDA regulates Dental splints or sets under 21 CFR 872.3740 and under FDA product code EBL. Most nations, for tariff and trade purposes, schedule these products under HS 901819.

UNSPSC 42152606 Dental splints or sets is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local opportunities posted under it show little alignment with the code's nominal scope. The three most recent solicitations include a sole-source procurement by Valencia College for iTero Lumina intraoral 3D scanners ($143,196 for four units), Texas A&M University's invitation for bids on a master vendor agreement for dental and medical equipment and supplies generally, and a City of Arlington, Texas request for proposals for a cyanide flow analyzer for wastewater treatment. Only the Valencia College and Texas A&M solicitations bear any relationship to dental products; the Arlington cyanide analyzer is plainly outside the code's dental focus. The Valencia College procurement targets specialized digital imaging equipment for the School of Allied Health Dental Hygiene Department and represents an institution-specific, sole-source acquisition with no competitive bidding. The Texas A&M ITB establishes an on-demand master order pool for dental and medical supplies without specifying quantities, pricing, or particular product lines.

Recent activity under this code spans Florida and Texas, with issuers including a state college system (Valencia College), a major university health procurement office (Texas A&M University Division of Finance Procurement Services), and a city utility department (City of Arlington). The Valencia College sole-source notice closed November 27, 2025; the Texas A&M ITB closed September 3, 2026; and the Arlington RFP closed September 10, 2026. The code shows limited recent activity and mixed categorization, suggesting that dental product procurement through this specific Commodity code is infrequent or that issuing bodies are applying it inconsistently to equipment, supplies, and infrastructure outside its intended scope.
