In this classification, this commodity indicates a product used as a band driver, pusher or setter used during an orthodontic dental procedure in a medical setting. US FDA regulates Orthodontic wires under 21 CFR 872.5410 and under FDA product code DZC. Most nations, for tariff and trade purposes, schedule these products under HS 902110.

UNSPSC 42152717 Orthodontic wires is a Commodity code that in recent state and local procurement activity encompasses not just wires but broader orthodontic and dental technology equipment — specifically, advanced digital intraoral scanning devices used in clinical and educational dental settings. State and local issuing bodies procuring under this code include higher-education institutions with dental and allied-health programs. The scope reflects the reality that procurement offices often tag equipment and technology purchases with product-family codes even when the specific items purchased (such as digital imaging scanners) sit adjacent to or support the nominal commodity (orthodontic wires themselves).

Valencia College's School of Allied Health, Dental Hygiene Department posted a sole-source RFP (SS202620) in November 2025 for four iTero Lumina Scanners from Align Technology, Inc., with a total acquisition cost of $143,196.00 and a response date of November 27, 2025. The procurement was conducted under Florida Administrative Code and Florida Statute 287.057. Recent activity under this code remains limited; the Valencia College opportunity represents a single, institution-specific equipment purchase with no broader geographic or issuing-body clustering evident from current postings. The code shows minimal recent activity and does not reflect ongoing, widespread state or local solicitation patterns typical of higher-volume commodity codes.
