UNSPSC 42152803: Periodontal hoes

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

UNSPSC 42152803 Periodontal hoes (Commodity) shows minimal recent state and local procurement activity aligned with its nominal scope; the single documented opportunity under this code is a dental education equipment acquisition unrelated to hand instruments for periodontal treatment. Valencia College's School of Allied Health, Dental Hygiene Department posted a sole source procurement in November 2025 for four iTero Lumina intraoral scanners from Align Technology, Inc—high-end digital imaging devices for clinical and educational use, totaling $143,196.00. This acquisition sits outside the traditional periodontal hand-tool category the code nominally describes, suggesting either a coding misalignment in the state and local database or that periodontal hoe procurement at the public agency level remains below the visibility threshold of available procurement records.

The geographic activity visible under this code is limited to Florida, where Valencia College (a state institution) pursued the scanner acquisition under Florida Administrative Code and statute. No additional recent opportunities in other jurisdictions appear in the available record. Business development professionals should treat this code as dormant for practical purposes; periodontal hand instruments, if purchased by state and local dental programs at all, are either coded elsewhere or procured through smaller transactions not captured in the primary opportunity stream.
