UNSPSC 42152303: General dental lights

In this classification, this commodity indicates a product that is a non-specific generic light used in dental procedures. US FDA regulates General dental lights under 21 CFR 872.4620 and under FDA product code EAY. Most nations, for tariff and trade purposes, schedule these products under HS 901819.

UNSPSC 42152303 General dental lights is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local activity under it centers on advanced intraoral scanning technology rather than traditional dental illumination equipment. Valencia College's School of Allied Health, Dental Hygiene Department pursued a sole source procurement for four iTero Lumina Scanners—3D imaging devices that digitally capture patients' teeth and gum structures for clinical and educational use. This divergence between the code's nominal scope and actual procurement activity suggests the code is being applied loosely or the sourcing system has categorized diagnostic imaging equipment under a lighting taxonomy. State and local issuing bodies using this code appear to be primarily academic and healthcare institutions with dental or allied health programs rather than general government purchasers; the single recent opportunity involved a community college's procurement office.

The identified recent activity is geographically limited to Florida, where Valencia College posted its sole source notice on November 18, 2025, with a response deadline of November 27, 2025. The procurement's $143,196.00 budget reflects a narrow, institution-specific acquisition with no competitive bidding process. The source shows minimal recent state and local contract opportunities under this code, suggesting either limited government demand for general dental lights specifically or systematic miscategorization of dental equipment purchases. Business development professionals should verify whether opportunities tagged to 42152303 actually require lighting systems or represent misclassified imaging, diagnostic, or other specialized dental equipment purchases before pursuing similar solicitations.
