About UNSPSC 42151658

UNSPSC 42151658 Dental floss threaders is a Commodity code that does not align with the recent state and local procurement activity posted under it. Valencia College's School of Allied Health, Dental Hygiene Department posted a sole source RFQ in November 2025 for four iTero Lumina intraoral scanners from Align Technology, Inc.—advanced 3D imaging devices for digital tooth and gum representation—valued at $143,196.00. This procurement represents specialized dental imaging equipment rather than floss threaders or dental consumables, indicating a significant mismatch between the code's nominal scope and what state and local buyers are actually acquiring under this taxonomy entry.

The source contains only a single recent opportunity, posted by Valencia College under Florida's sole source procurement statute (Florida Administrative Code 6A-14.0734(2)(a)(h) and Florida Statute 287.057). No geographic spread across multiple jurisdictions or issuing-body types appears in the data. The code shows minimal relevant recent activity aligned with its stated product category, suggesting either light purchasing volume in this commodity segment or a tagging anomaly that has directed a major dental equipment acquisition to an unrelated code.
