UNSPSC 42152230: Denture grinding and polishing machines

In this classification, this commodity indicates a product that grinds and polishes dental impressions, castings, molds and investments. Most nations, for tariff and trade purposes, schedule these products under HS 901831.

UNSPSC 42152230 Denture grinding and polishing machines, a Commodity code, shows little relevant recent activity in state and local procurement. The single recorded opportunity under this code — Valencia College's School of Allied Health, Dental Hygiene Department's acquisition of four iTero Lumina Scanners from Align Technology, Inc — falls plainly outside the code's nominal scope. The procurement targets advanced 3D intraoral scanning devices for dental imaging and education, not denture grinding or polishing equipment. The mismatch between the code assignment and the work actually being bought suggests either a tagging error in the source data or that state and local procurement offices are using this code to capture broader dental equipment acquisitions beyond its traditional definition. Without additional opportunities to establish a pattern of activity, the code cannot reliably indicate current market demand for denture grinding and polishing machines in state and local procurement.

Valencia College conducted the sole-source procurement under Florida Administrative Code 6A-14.0734(2)(a)(h) and Florida Statute 287.057, with a public posting period ending November 27, 2025 and a total acquisition cost of $143,196.00. No competitive bidding or set-aside designations are documented. Absent further evidence of state and local solicitations for equipment matching the code's stated commodity definition, business development professionals evaluating denture grinding and polishing machinery should treat this code as inactive for procurement-opportunity screening and monitor alternative channels for actual dental laboratory equipment demand.
