UNSPSC 42152207: Dental laboratory dust collectors

In this classification, this commodity indicates a product that collects dust areas involved in a dental procedure. Most nations, for tariff and trade purposes, schedule these products under HS 901832.

UNSPSC 42152207 Dental laboratory dust collectors is a Commodity code that in recent state and local procurement activity covers specialized dental imaging and scanning equipment for educational and clinical use, not dust-collection equipment as the code name suggests. Valencia College's School of Allied Health, Dental Hygiene Department posted a sole source procurement in November 2025 for four iTero Lumina Scanners — advanced 3D intraoral imaging devices used for digital dentistry and orthodontic applications — from Align Technology, Inc., valued at $143,196.00. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope (dust collectors) and the actual work being solicited (diagnostic imaging scanners) indicates that state procurement offices are tagging this equipment under a code that does not reflect its true functional category. Educational institutions, particularly community colleges with dental hygiene or dental technology programs, are the primary issuing bodies active under this code.

The single recent opportunity in the record is from Florida. Valencia College conducted the procurement under Florida Administrative Code 6A-14.0734(2)(a)(h) and Florida Statute 287.057, following a seven-business-day public notice period before sole source award. No other recent state or local solicitations appear in the activity block, limiting geographic visibility and suggesting that procurement activity under this code, whether correctly or incorrectly tagged, is sparse or highly specialized to particular educational institutions with dental programs.
