UNSPSC 42152201: Dental foils

In this classification, this commodity indicates a product that is foil based used for dental restoration. US FDA regulates Dental foils under 21 CFR 874.3620 and under FDA product code KHJ. Most nations, for tariff and trade purposes, schedule these products under HS 901832.

UNSPSC 42152201 Dental foils, a Commodity code, sees limited recent state and local procurement activity that diverges substantially from the code's nominal scope. The single recent opportunity on record involves Valencia College's School of Allied Health, Dental Hygiene Department pursuing a sole source procurement for iTero Lumina digital intraoral scanners—advanced 3D imaging devices for dental and orthodontic applications—rather than dental foils as a consumable material. State and local buyers using this code appear to include public higher-education institutions, specifically community colleges with dental or allied-health programs. The procurement vehicle was a sole source notice under Florida Administrative Code and Florida Statute 287.057, with no competitive bidding and no set-asides for disadvantaged enterprises mentioned.

Activity under this code is concentrated in Florida, where Valencia College posted the solicitation in April 2026 with a November 27, 2025 due date, requesting four scanner units totaling $143,196.00 from Align Technology, Inc. The procurement was certified by Kellie Robertson, Assistant Director of Procurement at Valencia College, and followed a seven-business-day public posting process. The mismatch between the code's dental-foils designation and the actual scope of recent solicitation—which targets high-end diagnostic imaging equipment—suggests that state and local procurement offices may be using this code inconsistently or that it is underutilized relative to the actual purchasing patterns in dental education and healthcare delivery.
