UNSPSC 42152801: Periodontal chisels

In this classification, this commodity indicates a product used as a chisel used during a periodontal procedure in a medical setting. US FDA regulates Periodontal chisels under 21 CFR 872.4565 and under FDA product code EML. Most nations, for tariff and trade purposes, schedule these products under HS 901890.

UNSPSC 42152801 Periodontal chisels is a Commodity code that in recent state and local practice covers a wide range of dental equipment and supplies well beyond hand instruments — the recent opportunities posted under this code show acquisition of digital intraoral 3D scanners, dental and medical equipment pools, and laboratory analytical instrumentation for wastewater treatment. Valencia College's School of Allied Health, Dental Hygiene Department pursued a sole source procurement for iTero Lumina Scanners (advanced 3D imaging devices for digital tooth and gum representation), and Texas A&M University's Division of Finance Procurement Services opened bidding for a master order agreement supplying dental and medical equipment and supplies on demand. The issuing bodies are primarily higher-education institutions — community colleges and university health divisions — using ITB and sole source notice types to acquire specialized clinical and educational equipment.

Activity is concentrated in Texas and Florida. Valencia College in Florida posted its iTero Lumina scanner procurement under Florida Administrative Code 6A-14.0734(2)(a)(h) and Florida Statute 287.057 with a sole source justification and a $143,196.00 budget for four units (due November 27, 2025). Texas A&M University issued ITB TAMHSC-26-0648 on August 20, 2026, closing September 3, 2026, requiring electronic submission through AggieBid and registration on the State of Texas Centralized Master Bidders List. The City of Arlington, Texas also posted under this code—a cyanide flow analyzer procurement (RFP 270014, due September 10, 2026)—though this appears unrelated to the code's nominal scope and signals a potential tagging mismatch in the source data. The code shows sparse recent activity concentrated in higher-education procurement for clinical equipment; the Arlington wastewater analyzer suggests the code may be misapplied to non-dental acquisitions in some jurisdictions.
