UNSPSC 42152805: Periodontium control instruments

In this classification, this commodity indicates a product used as an instrument to control the periodontium in a periodontal procedure in a medical setting. Most nations, for tariff and trade purposes, schedule these products under HS 901811.

UNSPSC 42152805 Periodontium control instruments is a Commodity code under which state and local governments procure dental diagnostic and treatment equipment, though recent solicitation activity shows limited alignment with the code's nominal scope. The three most recent opportunities posted under this code include intraoral 3D imaging scanners for dental education, a broad master-order pool for dental and medical equipment and supplies, and a wastewater cyanide analyzer — a categorization mismatch that suggests the code may capture only a portion of actual periodontium-related purchasing or receive inconsistent application. Educational institutions and university healthcare divisions represent the issuing bodies in the recent record, with Valencia College's School of Allied Health and Texas A&M University's Division of Finance Procurement Services both soliciting equipment for clinical and training use.

The geographic spread of recent activity centers on Florida and Texas. Valencia College (Florida) posted a sole-source procurement on November 18, 2025, for four iTero Lumina Scanners from Align Technology, Inc., totaling $143,196.00, with a response deadline of November 27, 2025, under Florida's sole-source justification rules. Texas A&M University issued an ITB (TAMHSC-26-0648) on August 20, 2026, for a master-order pool of dental and medical equipment and supplies vendors, with bids due September 3, 2026, through the AggieBid portal; the solicitation reserves the right to adjust closing time and instructed bidders to monitor for addenda. The City of Arlington, Texas posted RFP 270014 on August 12, 2026, for a cyanide flow analyzer due September 10, 2026, though this opportunity appears unrelated to periodontium control and reflects a coding anomaly rather than authentic activity under the code's intended scope.
