UNSPSC 42153006: Dental wedges or sets

In this classification, this commodity indicates a product used as a wedge and accessories used in a dental procedure. Most nations, for tariff and trade purposes, schedule these products under HS 901811.

UNSPSC 42153006 Dental wedges or sets is a Commodity code that shows minimal recent state and local procurement activity aligned with its nominal scope. The three recent opportunities tagged to this code diverge sharply from dental wedges: one solicits iTero Lumina intraoral scanners (advanced 3D digital imaging equipment for dental education), another requests a master vendor pool for general dental and medical equipment and supplies with no wedge specification, and the third solicits a cyanide flow analyzer for wastewater treatment—work entirely unrelated to dental consumables. State and local purchasing departments are clearly using this code as a catch-all or misfiling dental and medical procurement without regard to the specific commodity classification. No opportunities in the source target dental wedges, matrices, or related consumable products that the code nominally describes.

The issuing bodies include Valencia College (a Florida post-secondary institution), Texas A&M University's procurement division, and the City of Arlington, Texas. Geographic activity is limited to Florida and Texas in the recent block, with no repeat buyers or pattern of sustained demand for the commodity itself. The Valencia College scanner procurement was a sole-source award to Align Technology, Inc. for $143,196.00 with a due date of November 27, 2025 (ITB 270014 from Arlington and ITB TAMHSC-26-0648 from Texas A&M had September 2026 response dates). Because the code shows no genuine recent activity in dental wedges or closely related dental consumables, pursuit under this code is not currently warranted; business development effort is better directed toward higher-activity dental supply and equipment codes that reflect what state and local procurement offices are actually buying.
