UNSPSC 42152907: Dental cutting or separating discs

In this classification, this commodity indicates a product used as a cutting or separating dis during a dental procedure. Most nations, for tariff and trade purposes, schedule these products under HS 901890.

UNSPSC 42152907 Dental cutting or separating discs is a Commodity code that nominally covers consumable abrasive tools for dental procedures, though recent state and local solicitations under this code tag a broader mix of dental and medical equipment procurement that diverges significantly from the code's narrow title. The recent opportunities show state and local buyers acquiring high-value diagnostic and analytical equipment—intraoral 3D imaging scanners, master-order pools for dental and medical supplies, and laboratory instrumentation for wastewater monitoring—alongside the consumable tooling the code describes. Issuing bodies include higher-education institutions (Valencia College's School of Allied Health, Dental Hygiene Department; Texas A&M University's Division of Finance Procurement Services) and municipalities (the City of Arlington, Texas), indicating the code captures both clinical-education and operational-compliance procurement across sectors.

Recent activity centers in Texas and Florida. Valencia College (Florida) posted a sole-source RFP in October 2026 for four iTero Lumina Scanners from Align Technology, Inc., totaling $143,196.00, with a response deadline of November 27, 2025. Texas A&M University (Texas) issued an ITB in August 2026 for a pool of vendors to provide dental and medical equipment and supplies on a master-order basis, with bids due September 3, 2026 through the AggieBid portal. The City of Arlington, Texas posted an RFP in August 2026 for a cyanide flow analyzer supporting wastewater treatment compliance monitoring, due September 10, 2026. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope (dental cutting and separating discs) and the actual equipment being solicited suggests either miscoding of opportunities or use of the code as a catch-all for dental-adjacent procurement; business development professionals should verify code alignment when pursuing opportunities in this family.
