NIGP 26051: Matrix Materials, Dental

NIGP 26051 Matrix Materials, Dental, an Item code, covers resins, composites, and other base materials that dentists and dental laboratories use to build and restore teeth—products state and local governments buy through dental clinics operated by health departments, school districts, correctional facilities, and public universities. The code captures routine procurement of dental composite resins, glass ionomer cements, bonding agents, and matrix band systems that support direct restorative work and lab fabrication. Issuing bodies soliciting under this code span state departments of health, county health clinics, municipal dental programs, and school district health services. The work typically appears in small to mid-sized purchase orders or standing contracts rather than in major capital procurements, reflecting the consumable nature of dental materials and the distributed nature of public dental service delivery across multiple small providers.
