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 three opportunities posted in the source—a dental imaging scanner procurement at Valencia College, a master-order pool for dental and medical equipment at Texas A&M University, and a cyanide flow analyzer for the City of Arlington—do not reflect purchases of periodontal hoes or closely related hand instruments. The Valencia College and Texas A&M solicitations touch dental procurement broadly, but neither targets periodontal instruments specifically. The Arlington opportunity involves wastewater treatment equipment entirely unrelated to dental practice or periodontal care.

State and local buyers soliciting under this code appear to include higher education institutions (Valencia College, Texas A&M University) and municipal utilities (City of Arlington), though the nature and geographic spread of the opportunities offer limited insight into actual periodontal-hoe procurement patterns. No recent RFP, RFQ, IFB, or ITB for periodontal instruments appears in the source. Without recent opportunities reflecting genuine demand for periodontal hoes from school districts, county health departments, municipal clinics, or state dental programs, the code signals low current activity in state and local procurement.
