UNSPSC 42152479: Dental alloys

In this classification, this commodity indicates a product consisting of specific chemical compounds used to create teeth prosthetics and implants. Most nations, for tariff and trade purposes, schedule these products under HS 901819.

UNSPSC 42152479 Dental alloys (Commodity) covers specialized materials used in dental applications, but recent state and local procurement activity under this code shows a significant mismatch with its nominal scope. Valencia College's School of Allied Health, Dental Hygiene Department posted a sole source procurement in October 2026 for 4 iTero Lumina Scanners from Align Technology, Inc.—advanced 3D intraoral imaging devices rather than dental alloys or materials. The solicitation, conducted under Florida Administrative Code 6A-14.0734(2)(a)(h) and Florida Statute 287.057, represents a narrow, institution-specific acquisition with no competitive bidding process and a total acquisition cost of $143,196.00. The mismatch suggests that the code may have been applied incorrectly to this opportunity or that state and local procurement offices are tagging imaging equipment under materials codes inconsistently.

The source provides no additional recent opportunities under this Commodity code beyond the Valencia College scanner procurement. Florida appears as the sole state with a recorded recent activity, and the issuing body is a single educational institution rather than a broader cross-section of state departments, counties, or municipalities. Without additional representative solicitations, the actual market for dental alloys at the state and local level cannot be characterized from this source. Business development professionals should verify whether this code routinely receives miscoded equipment and imaging-device solicitations or whether dental material purchases occur through other procurement channels or UNSPSC classifications not reflected here.
