UNSPSC 42152809: Periodontal knives

In this classification, this commodity indicates a product used as a knife used during a periodontal procedure in a medical setting. US FDA regulates Periodontal knives under 21 CFR 872.4565 and under FDA product code EMO. Most nations, for tariff and trade purposes, schedule these products under HS 901890.

UNSPSC 42152809 Periodontal knives (Commodity) shows minimal recent state and local procurement activity aligned with its nominal scope. The single recent opportunity posted under this code—Valencia College's School of Allied Health, Dental Hygiene Department's sole-source procurement for 4 iTero Lumina Scanners from Align Technology, Inc.—is a three-dimensional intraoral imaging device acquisition, not periodontal hand instruments or cutting tools. The mismatch suggests either a cataloging error in the source data or misalignment between how this particular jurisdiction tagged the opportunity and the code's actual commodity definition.

The Valencia College solicitation (SS202620, posted April 13, 2026, due November 27, 2025) represents the only recent state or local opportunity surfaced under this code. The $143,196 acquisition was pursued as a sole-source procurement under Florida Administrative Code and Florida Statute 287.057, with no reported set-aside designations. Given the absence of corroborating opportunities in other jurisdictions or states and the fundamental mismatch between the code's stated scope and the scanner acquisition, this code does not currently reflect active state and local demand for periodontal knives or related hand instruments.
