UNSPSC 42152121: Dental impression copings

Impression copings allow for replication of implant position in the impression material to accurately position an implant replica.

UNSPSC 42152121 Dental impression copings, a Commodity code, sees highly fragmented state and local procurement focused on dental prosthetics fabrication, intraoral scanning equipment for educational programs, and clinical dental laboratory services. State and local buyers under this code include public hospital systems, college dental hygiene departments, and school districts procuring dental education resources as part of broader career technical or health-sciences curricula. The work ranges from contracted dental prosthetics fabrication (dentures, partial dentures, and related laboratory services) to specialized intraoral imaging equipment acquisitions supporting clinical training and patient care. Requirements typically include multiple years of relevant dental laboratory or equipment experience, California or Texas business licensing, professional liability and general liability insurance in the $1–3 million range per occurrence, and compliance with health care regulations including HIPAA, Section 504 accessibility standards, and corporate compliance protocols for health care providers.

Recent activity appears concentrated in California and Texas. San Mateo Medical Center (San Mateo County) issued an RFP (660002526238) posted March 31, 2026, for fixed and removable prosthesis fabrication services with a March 6, 2026 response deadline, structured on a per-case fee basis with evaluation weighting project approach (27.3 percent), firm qualifications (22.7 percent), team qualifications (18.2 percent), and price (22.7 percent); up to 10 percent local-preference points are available under San Mateo County ordinance. Valencia College's Dental Hygiene Department in Florida pursued a sole-source acquisition for four iTero Lumina intraoral scanners from Align Technology, Inc., totaling $143,196, posted April 13, 2026, with a November 27, 2025 response deadline. Klein Independent School District (Harris County, Texas) posted RFP 26-101 on April 17, 2026, due June 5, 2026, for career technical education instructional resources spanning multiple CTE program areas including health sciences, with encouragement of HUB, MWBE, and SBE participation. The code shows limited recent activity and mixed relevance; only the San Mateo and Valencia opportunities directly align with dental prosthetics or impression-related clinical work.
