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 is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local activity under this code does not reflect the procurement of traditional periodontal hand instruments. Instead, Valencia College's School of Allied Health, Dental Hygiene Department posted a sole source procurement (SS202620) in November 2025 for four iTero Lumina digital intraoral scanners from Align Technology, Inc., totaling $143,196.00. This mismatch between the code's nominal scope and actual purchasing activity suggests that the code is being used for broader dental technology acquisitions beyond its stated category, or that the tagging reflects a cataloging practice that does not align with the equipment's actual functional classification. The procurement was conducted under Florida Administrative Code 6A-14.0734(2)(a)(h) and Florida Statute 287.057, with no competitive bidding process and no set-aside designations mentioned.

The source provides only one recent opportunity and no geographic spread beyond Florida. Valencia College appears to be the sole issuing body represented in the available activity block, limiting visibility into whether other state and local jurisdictions—counties, cities, school districts, or transit authorities—are actively procuring under this code. Without additional recent opportunities across multiple states and issuing bodies, the market activity under UNSPSC 42152802 cannot be reliably characterized. Business development professionals evaluating this code should note the apparent classification mismatch and consider whether their dental technology or instrumentation offerings align more closely with how state and local procurement offices are actually using the code in practice.
