UNSPSC 42152802: Periodontal files

In this classification, this commodity indicates a product used as a file used during a periodontal procedure in a medical setting. US FDA regulates Periodontal files under 21 CFR 872.4565 and under FDA product code EMR. Most nations, for tariff and trade purposes, schedule these products under HS 901849.

UNSPSC 42152802 Periodontal files, a Commodity code, shows minimal recent state and local procurement activity aligned with its nominal scope. The three most recent opportunities posted under this code—a dental scanner acquisition, a master order for dental and medical equipment and supplies, and a wastewater treatment analyzer—reflect a significant mismatch between the code's stated product category and the work actually being solicited. None of the opportunities directly address periodontal files or related hand instruments typically associated with this Commodity classification. The scanner and equipment solicitations touch the broader dental sector but do not procure the specific instruments the code nominally covers.

Recent activity spans two states. Valencia College's School of Allied Health, Dental Hygiene Department (Florida) posted a sole-source procurement on October 19, 2026 for four iTero Lumina Scanners from Align Technology, Inc, valued at $143,196.00, with a due date of November 27, 2025. Texas A&M University, Division of Finance Procurement Services, issued an ITB on August 20, 2026 for a pool of vendors to provide dental and medical equipment and supplies, with bids due September 3, 2026. The City of Arlington, Texas posted an RFP on August 12, 2026 for a cyanide flow analyzer for wastewater treatment, due September 10, 2026—an offering entirely outside dental scope. This code does not appear to be actively used for traditional periodontal instrumentation procurement in recent state and local contracting.
