UNSPSC 42152210 Dental laboratory gold platers is a Commodity code that shows minimal recent state and local procurement activity aligned with its nominal scope. The single recent opportunity on record—Valencia College's School of Allied Health, Dental Hygiene Department pursuit of four iTero Lumina Scanners from Align Technology, Inc—represents a sole source acquisition of digital intraoral scanning devices, not dental laboratory gold-plating services or related consumables. The procurement was posted under Florida Administrative Code 6A-14.0734(2)(a)(h) and Florida Statute 287.057, with a total acquisition cost of $143,196.00. This solicitation reflects education-sector dental technology investment rather than the laboratory goods and services the code nominally encompasses, and no other recent state or local opportunities under this code appear in the current data set.

The mismatch between the code's stated scope and the actual work being solicited suggests the code sees limited relevant state and local demand, or that opportunities in dental laboratory gold-plating and related services are either not being tagged to this code or are not surfacing in recent public records. Business development professionals should verify whether state and local procurement offices in their target jurisdictions issue opportunities under this code with greater frequency or consistency than current records indicate, and whether the code is being applied to dental laboratory supplies and services more broadly than the single Valencia College opportunity demonstrates.
