UNSPSC 42151685 Dental hemostats is a Commodity code that in practice encompasses specialized dental diagnostic and imaging equipment rather than traditional hemostatic instruments; Valencia College's School of Allied Health solicited four iTero Lumina intraoral scanners — advanced 3D digital imaging devices for dental and orthodontic applications — under sole source procurement in November 2025, signaling that state and local educational institutions are acquiring high-end clinical equipment tagged to this code. The code appears to draw purchasing from state colleges and other public educational bodies with dental or allied health programs, though recent activity is sparse enough that characterization of a broader issuing-body pattern is not yet supported.

Valencia College, a Florida institution, posted notice of the iTero Lumina scanner acquisition (Solicitation Number SS202620, due November 27, 2025) under Florida Administrative Code 6A-14.0734(2)(a)(h) and Florida Statute 287.057, with a total cost of $143,196.00 for the four units. The procurement was conducted as a sole source award to Align Technology, Inc, following a seven business day public posting window. No other recent state or local opportunities under this code are present in the source, limiting visibility into geographic spread or issuing-body concentration. The single recorded solicitation suggests either light recent activity under the code or potential mislabeling of opportunities in state and local procurement systems, since dental hemostats (bleeding-control surgical instruments) and intraoral digital scanners serve materially different functions in dental practice.
