NIGP 26029: Dies, Forms, Molds, Patterns, etc., Dental

NIGP 26029 Dies, Forms, Molds, Patterns, Etc., Dental is an Item code covering specialized fabrication and tooling products for dental applications, including dies, custom molds, bite forms, and pattern materials used in prosthodontics, orthodontics, and restorative dentistry. State and local governments procure these items primarily through dental schools, public health departments, correctional facilities with dental clinics, and county health systems that operate or support clinical training programs and inmate care. The work spans custom fabrication of dental dies and models cast from impressions, precision forms for denture construction, bite registration materials, and pattern blanks for crown and bridge work.

No recent state or local contract opportunities appear in the available records for NIGP 26029. The code reflects a narrow technical specialty within dental supply procurement that is typically embedded in larger equipment and supply agreements or handled through standing cooperative purchasing vehicles rather than standalone solicitations.
