UNSPSC 42152203: Dental laboratory burners or torches

In this classification, this commodity indicates a product that either a torch or burner is used to trim and finish dental impressions, casting, models and investments. Most nations, for tariff and trade purposes, schedule these products under HS 901832.

UNSPSC 42152203 Dental laboratory burners or torches is a Commodity code that in recent state and local procurement shows limited direct alignment with its nominal scope. The single recent opportunity posted under this code—Valencia College's procurement of iTero Lumina intraoral scanners—represents advanced 3D digital imaging devices for dental education and clinical use, not laboratory burners or torches. State and local buyers using this code appear to include higher-education institutions with dental and dental-hygiene programs, though the sparse recent activity provides limited visibility into the broader issuing-body mix across municipalities, counties, or state health departments that might procure traditional dental laboratory equipment.

Valencia College's School of Allied Health, Dental Hygiene Department posted sole-source procurement SS202620 in November 2025 for four iTero Lumina Scanners from Align Technology, Inc., with a total cost of $143,196.00 and a response deadline of November 27, 2025. The code shows no significant activity volume in recent state and local opportunities; this Florida college's scanner acquisition appears to be the only recent solicitation tagged to the code. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope—dental laboratory burners or torches—and the actual procurement documented suggests either a classification variance in the source system or limited relevance of this Commodity code to current state and local dental-equipment purchasing. Firms evaluating activity under this code should verify whether state and local dental-lab equipment procurement is classified elsewhere or whether traditional burner and torch solicitations are infrequent in the recent market.
