NIGP 26089: Ultrasonic Cleaning Units, Dental Laboratory

NIGP 26089 Ultrasonic Cleaning Units, Dental Laboratory is an Item code that captures specialized equipment acquisitions for dental education and clinical environments, though recent state and local solicitation activity under this code reflects a narrower scope than the NIGP title suggests. Valencia College's School of Allied Health, Dental Hygiene Department pursued a sole source procurement for 4 iTero Lumina Scanners—advanced 3D digital intraoral imaging devices—rather than ultrasonic cleaning units per se, indicating that state and local buyers use this code to classify high-end dental diagnostic and imaging technology alongside or instead of traditional laboratory cleaning equipment. The issuing body in the recent opportunity is a public college's specialized dental health program, a pattern typical of state postsecondary institutions investing in clinical training infrastructure.

Valencia College issued the iTero Lumina Scanner procurement as a sole source notice under Florida Administrative Code 6A-14.0734(2)(a)(h) and Florida Statute 287.057 with a response deadline of November 27, 2025, and a total acquisition cost of $143,196.00 for the four units. The notice, posted on November 18, 2025, and certified by Kellie Robertson, Assistant Director of Procurement at Valencia College, reflects a narrow, institution-specific acquisition without competitive bidding and no explicit set-aside designations. Florida is the only state represented in recent opportunities under this code; broader geographic activity is not evident in the available data.
