UNSPSC 42152711: Orthodontic expansion screws

In this classification, this commodity indicates a product used as a molar screws used during an orthodontic dental procedure in a medical setting. US FDA regulates Orthodontic expansion screws under 21 CFR 872.5410 and under FDA product code DYJ. Most nations, for tariff and trade purposes, schedule these products under HS 902129.

UNSPSC 42152711 Orthodontic expansion screws, a Commodity code, shows minimal relevant recent activity in state and local procurement. The single recent opportunity on record—Valencia College's School of Allied Health sole source procurement posted April 13, 2026—involves iTero Lumina digital intraoral scanners from Align Technology, Inc, not orthodontic expansion screws. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the actual solicitation suggests either a miscoding issue in the state and local posting system or that the code receives limited use across jurisdictions for its intended product line. State and local governments soliciting under this code, when they do, appear to include higher education institutions with dental and orthodontic programs, though the recent record does not support a characterization of issuing-body patterns.

Geographic activity is limited to Florida, where Valencia College's procurement represents the most recent traceable solicitation. The sole source notice, certified by Valencia College's procurement office and posted November 18, 2025 with a November 27, 2025 response date, acquired imaging technology rather than mechanical expansion screws, indicating either a coding anomaly or a gap in capturing relevant state and local procurement under this Commodity code. Without additional recent opportunities properly tagged to the code's intended scope, market activity for orthodontic expansion screws in state and local procurement cannot be characterized with confidence.
