UNSPSC 42152200: Dental laboratory and sterilization equipment and supplies

In this classification, this class includes, equipment, products, components, accessories, and supplies, utilized in laboratory and sterilization based dental procedures.

UNSPSC 42152200 Dental laboratory and sterilization equipment and supplies, a Class code, covers the procurement of equipment, instruments, and consumables used in dental laboratory operations and clinical sterilization — including prosthetic fabrication materials, laboratory instruments, sterilization equipment, and related supplies. State and local buyers under this code range from university health centers and dental schools to public health departments and dental clinics within larger health systems. The work involves both direct equipment purchases and master-order agreements for on-demand supply, with some solicitations establishing vendor pools to serve multiple clinical or educational sites.

Recent activity centers on higher-education health systems and state-affiliated universities. The University of Connecticut Health Center issued an RFP in May 2026 (due June 8, 2026) for comprehensive Dental Prosthetic Laboratory services and products to support its dental clinics in Farmington, Connecticut for patient care and educational purposes, with potential DBE requirements if federal funding applies. Texas A&M University, Division of Finance Procurement Services, posted an ITB in August 2026 (due September 3, 2026) for a master-order pool of vendors to provide dental and medical equipment and supplies on an on-demand basis through the AggieBid electronic portal. Both solicitations reflect institutional demand for standing vendor relationships rather than discrete project awards, suggesting steady-state procurement cycles at academic medical centers. Geographic activity appears concentrated in Connecticut and Texas, with vendor outreach conducted through state bidding platforms and established vendor lists.
