UNSPSC 42152477 Gutta percha is a Commodity code that in recent state and local procurement activity covers advanced dental imaging and scanning equipment rather than the traditional endodontic material the code name suggests. Valencia College's School of Allied Health, Dental Hygiene Department pursued a sole source procurement for iTero Lumina Scanners—3D intraoral imaging devices used in dental and orthodontic clinical and educational settings. The issuing body in the recent opportunity is a public postsecondary institution's specialized health sciences department conducting a narrow, institution-specific acquisition with no competitive bidding process.

The single recent opportunity on record is Valencia College's procurement (SS202620) for four iTero Lumina Scanners from Align Technology, Inc., posted in April 2026 with a November 2025 due date and a total acquisition cost of $143,196.00, conducted under Florida Administrative Code and Florida Statute sole source authority. The code shows limited recent activity in state and local procurement, with the one visible opportunity concentrated in Florida. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope (gutta percha—a root-canal filling material) and the actual solicitation (digital imaging equipment) suggests this code may not accurately reflect how state and local procurement offices are currently classifying dental equipment acquisitions, or the opportunity was miscoded by the issuing body.
