UNSPSC 42152400: Dental materials

In this classification, this class includes, materials components, and accessories, used in dental based procedures.

UNSPSC 42152400 Dental materials is a Class code that encompasses clinical dental supplies, prosthetics, and specialized equipment state and local governments procure for public health clinics, dental hygiene education programs, and hospital-based dental services. The sourcing mix includes public colleges, county health systems, and school districts, with recent activity concentrated in higher-education and public-hospital dental service delivery rather than general K–12 procurement. Scope ranges from consumable materials and fabricated prosthetics (dentures and partial dentures) to advanced diagnostic imaging equipment such as intraoral scanners, reflecting the full spectrum of clinical and educational dental operations.

Recent opportunities span three distinct issuing bodies: Valencia College's School of Allied Health in Florida, which pursued a sole-source acquisition of four iTero Lumina Scanners valued at $143,196.00 with a November 27, 2025 deadline; San Mateo Medical Center in California, which issued an RFP (660002526238) due March 6, 2026 for fixed and removable dental prosthesis fabrication and repair services on a per-case fee basis; and Klein Independent School District in Harris County, Texas, which issued RFP 26-101 due June 5, 2026 for Career Technical Education resources spanning multiple instructional areas including dental-related materials and equipment. The geographic spread reflects activity in Texas, California, and Florida. San Mateo County offers up to 10 percent preferential points to local businesses under county ordinance, while Klein ISD actively encourages HUB, MWBE, and SBE participation. Dental materials procurement under this code appears driven by specialized clinical service needs at public health facilities and health professions education programs rather than broad commodity purchasing.
