UNSPSC 42152204: Dental laboratory casting machines

In this classification, this commodity indicates a product that is used to create dental castings and impressions. Most nations, for tariff and trade purposes, schedule these products under HS 901839.

UNSPSC 42152204 Dental laboratory casting machines, a Commodity code, encompasses digital intraoral scanning technology and related dental imaging equipment that state and local educational institutions and healthcare providers procure for clinical training and patient care. Recent activity shows educational procurement of advanced 3D dental imaging systems rather than traditional casting equipment — the code's nominal scope does not fully align with what is actually being solicited. Valencia College's School of Allied Health, Dental Hygiene Department pursued a sole source procurement under Florida Administrative Code 6A-14.0734(2)(a)(h) and Florida Statute 287.057 for four iTero Lumina Scanners from Align Technology, Inc, valued at $143,196.00. These devices create digital representations of teeth and gums for clinical and educational use. The procurement was posted November 18, 2025, with a due date of November 27, 2025, following a seven business day public posting process for sole source justification review.

The recent opportunity data reflects activity in Florida specifically, with Valencia College as the identified issuing body. The code shows limited recent state and local procurement volume in the available dataset, suggesting either sparse activity under this classification or a mismatch between the code's traditional casting-machine scope and current market demand for digital diagnostic imaging equipment. Business development professionals should note that state and local dental education programs and healthcare entities may be tagging digital scanning and imaging procurements under this code despite its historical focus on laboratory casting machinery, creating a disconnect between the UNSPSC category name and the actual goods being acquired.
