UNSPSC 42152471: Dental casting pattern wetting agents

In this classification, this commodity indicates a product that reduces contact angle between liquid and wax surface and any oily film left on wax pattern used as a dental mold. Most nations, for tariff and trade purposes, schedule these products under HS 300339.

UNSPSC 42152471 Dental casting pattern wetting agents is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment with recent state and local procurement activity. The single recent opportunity posted under this code—Valencia College's sole-source procurement for iTero Lumina intraoral scanners—falls outside the code's nominal scope of dental wetting agents and instead involves advanced 3D digital imaging equipment for clinical and educational use in dental hygiene training. State and local governments acquire products under this code primarily through higher-education institutions, particularly dental and dental hygiene programs within colleges and universities that source specialized materials for clinical laboratory and student training environments.

Valencia College's School of Allied Health, Dental Hygiene Department, issued a sole-source IFB (SS202620) on November 18, 2025, with a response deadline of November 27, 2025, to procure four iTero Lumina Scanners from Align Technology, Inc., for a total of $143,196.00. The procurement was conducted under Florida Administrative Code and Florida Statute authority and was certified by Kellie Robertson, Assistant Director of Procurement at Valencia College. Activity under this code appears concentrated in Florida, though the recent-opportunities data does not support characterization of broader geographic spread or multiple issuing bodies. The mismatch between the code's stated scope and the actual scanner procurement suggests either a cataloging error in the source data or that this code is rarely used for its intended purpose in state and local contracting.
