UNSPSC 42152209 Dental laboratory furnaces is a Commodity code that in recent state and local procurement covers specialized digital imaging and scanning equipment for dental education and clinical use, rather than traditional furnaces. Valencia College's School of Allied Health, Dental Hygiene Department solicited a sole source procurement for 4 iTero Lumina Scanners from Align Technology, Inc.—advanced 3D intraoral imaging devices used to create digital representations of patients' teeth and gums for clinical and educational applications. The code is being used by higher-education institutions to acquire dental technology infrastructure for teaching and patient care programs. No other issuing bodies appear in recent activity under this code, suggesting limited state and local procurement volume or a code assignment that does not align well with typical dental laboratory equipment purchasing patterns.

The recent activity is geographically concentrated in Florida, with Valencia College's procurement representing the sole tracked opportunity. The iTero Lumina Scanner acquisition, posted April 13, 2026 with a November 27, 2025 response date, carried a total contract value of $143,196.00 and was conducted as a sole source procurement under Florida Administrative Code 6A-14.0734(2)(a)(h) and Florida Statute 287.057, certified by Kellie Robertson, Assistant Director of Procurement at Valencia College. The narrow sourcing and lack of competitive bidding reflect the specialized nature of the technology and its integration into the college's existing dental hygiene infrastructure. The code shows minimal recent state and local activity, and the single opportunity tracked does not represent typical dental laboratory furnace procurement.
