UNSPSC 42152609: Dental grooved pins

In this classification, this commodity indicates a device that allows for the creation of an item, grooved at regular intervals, and designed for insertion into a drilled hole to reinforce and anchor the restorative material to a patient's tooth. Most nations, for tariff and trade purposes, schedule these products under HS 901819.

UNSPSC 42152609 Dental grooved pins is a Commodity-tier code that in recent state and local procurement activity represents a broader category of dental equipment and supplies rather than literal grooved pins. State and local buyers under this code are acquiring specialized dental imaging and diagnostic equipment, including intraoral scanners and related technologies, alongside medical and dental supplies through vendor pools and master agreements. Issuing bodies include higher-education institutions—Valencia College and Texas A&M University—and municipal governments. The work spans sole-source procurements for specialized equipment as well as competitive bidding for open vendor pools supporting ongoing dental and medical supply chains.

Recent activity appears concentrated in Texas and Florida. Valencia College's School of Allied Health, Dental Hygiene Department posted a sole-source RFP (SS202620, due November 27, 2025) for four iTero Lumina Scanners from Align Technology, Inc., valued at $143,196, as a targeted acquisition for clinical and educational use. Texas A&M University, Division of Finance Procurement Services, issued an ITB (TAMHSC-26-0648, due September 3, 2026) for a pool of vendors to provide dental and medical equipment and supplies on a master order basis. The City of Arlington, Texas also posted an RFP (270014, due September 10, 2026) for a cyanide flow analyzer for wastewater treatment—a solicitation tagged under this code but unrelated to dental equipment or supplies, suggesting possible classification misalignment in the municipal posting system.
