UNSPSC 42151600: Dental and subspecialty instruments and devices

In this classification, this class includes, products, components, accessories, and supplies, utilized in basic dentistry and subspecialty based medical procedures.

UNSPSC 42151600 Dental and subspecialty instruments and devices, a Class code, covers specialized diagnostic and clinical equipment that state and local institutions—primarily educational programs, university health systems, and municipal utilities—acquire for dental education, clinical practice, and related laboratory applications. Recent solicitations show state and local buyers acquiring advanced intraoral scanning technology, dental and medical equipment supply agreements, and specialized analytical instruments tagged under this code. The issuing bodies span educational institutions (Valencia College, Texas A&M University) and municipal departments (City of Arlington), reflecting a mix of academic dental programs and ancillary public-sector applications.

Activity appears concentrated in Texas and Florida based on recent postings. Valencia College's School of Allied Health, Dental Hygiene Department posted a sole source procurement (SS202620, due November 27, 2025) for four iTero Lumina Scanners from Align Technology, Inc., valued at $143,196, for 3D intraoral digital imaging in clinical and educational settings. Texas A&M University's Division of Finance Procurement Services issued an ITB (TAMHSCITB260648, due September 3, 2026) establishing a master-order vendor pool for dental and medical equipment and supplies through the AggieBid portal. A third opportunity—the City of Arlington's RFP for a cyanide flow analyzer (270014, due September 10, 2026)—is taxonomically mismatched to the code's dental scope and does not reflect typical activity under 42151600. The code shows meaningful but sporadic recent activity centered on institutional dental program capital equipment and supply-chain agreements.
