UNSPSC 42152920: Dental wire holders

In this classification, this commodity indicates a product used as wire holders during a dental procedure. Most nations, for tariff and trade purposes, schedule these products under HS 901819.

UNSPSC 42152920 Dental wire holders is a Commodity code that in recent state and local solicitations covers a broader scope than the code name suggests — the opportunities posted reflect purchases of advanced dental diagnostic and treatment equipment including 3D intraoral scanning devices and dental supply inventories, rather than discrete wire-holding components. State and local buyers under this code include higher-education institutions (colleges and universities with dental hygiene or health sciences programs) and municipal utilities, with education-focused procurement dominating the recent activity. The scope of work spans sole-source acquisitions of specialized clinical equipment for teaching programs and open competitive bidding for standing master agreements supplying ongoing dental and medical equipment and supplies.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas and Florida. Valencia College's School of Allied Health, Dental Hygiene Department (Florida) posted a sole-source procurement in November 2025 for four iTero Lumina Scanners from Align Technology, Inc., with a total acquisition cost of $143,196.00 under Florida Administrative Code 6A-14.0734(2)(a)(h), certified by Kellie Robertson, Assistant Director of Procurement, with a response deadline of November 27, 2025. Texas A&M University, Division of Finance Procurement Services, issued ITB TAMHSC-26-0648 in August 2026 for a pool of vendors to provide a master order agreement supplying dental and medical equipment and supplies on demand, with bids due September 3, 2026 at 2:00 p.m. Central Standard Time through the AggieBid portal. A third opportunity — the City of Arlington's cyanide flow analyzer procurement — bears the code tag but is unrelated to dental equipment and reflects a mismatch between coding and actual scope.
