UNSPSC 42152311: Caries detection device accessories

In this classification, this commodity indicates accessories to a product that detects plaque on a tooth. Most nations, for tariff and trade purposes, schedule these products under HS 901839.

UNSPSC 42152311 Caries detection device accessories (Commodity) encompasses specialized diagnostic imaging equipment and related technologies that state and local education and healthcare entities acquire for dental and orthodontic clinical practice and instruction. The code covers advanced intraoral scanning devices and associated components used in dental hygiene programs and clinical settings to create three-dimensional digital representations of patients' dentition and periodontal tissues. Issuing bodies under this code include higher-education institutions operating allied health and dental hygiene programs, particularly community colleges and public universities with dental education missions.

Recent activity shows narrow geographic and institutional focus. Valencia College, a Florida community college, issued a sole-source procurement (SS202620) in November 2025 for four iTero Lumina Scanners from Align Technology, Inc., totaling $143,196.00, to support its School of Allied Health Dental Hygiene Department's clinical and educational infrastructure. The procurement followed Florida's statutory sole-source process under Florida Administrative Code 6A-14.0734(2)(a)(h) and Florida Statute 287.057. No other recent state or local opportunities under this code appear in the source, suggesting limited current market activity or narrow institutional demand for caries detection device accessories among state and local public bodies.
