UNSPSC 42152481: Dental abrasive pastes and powders

UNSPSC 42152481 Dental abrasive pastes and powders is a Commodity-tier code that shows minimal alignment with recent state and local procurement activity. The single recent solicitation tagged to this code—Valencia College's School of Allied Health, Dental Hygiene Department procurement—concerns iTero Lumina digital intraoral scanners, specialized 3D imaging devices for dental and orthodontic applications. This acquisition sits outside the scope of abrasive pastes and powders and represents a mismatch between the code assignment and the actual goods being purchased. State and local procurement offices appear to use this code infrequently or inaccurately for dental-related supplies and equipment.

Valencia College (Florida) issued a sole source RFP (Solicitation Number SS202620) on October 19, 2026, with a response deadline of November 27, 2025, seeking four iTero Lumina Scanners from Align Technology, Inc. at a total cost of $143,196.00. The procurement was conducted under Florida Administrative Code 6A-14.0734(2)(a)(h) and Florida Statute 287.057, following a seven-business-day public posting process for sole source justification review. No other recent opportunities under this code appear in the source, suggesting the code sees little active state and local solicitation activity. Practitioners pursuing opportunities coded to dental abrasive pastes and powders should verify actual scope alignment at the RFP stage, as tagging appears unreliable.
