UNSPSC 42152500: General dental supplies

In this classification, this class includes, supplies, used in dental based procedures.

UNSPSC 42152500 General dental supplies is a Class code covering specialized dental equipment and consumables purchased by state and local educational and healthcare institutions. The code captures a range of items from routine clinical supplies to advanced diagnostic technology, as evidenced by current procurement activity centered on digital intraoral scanning systems and related equipment for dental education and clinical practice. State and local buyers under this code include community colleges, school districts with dental or allied health programs, county health departments, and public dental clinics. Valencia College's School of Allied Health, Dental Hygiene Department represents a typical issuing body — a public educational institution acquiring equipment to support clinical training and patient care delivery in dental hygiene programs.

Activity under the code shows a geographic concentration in Florida, where Valencia College's April 2026 sole-source procurement for four iTero Lumina Scanners from Align Technology, Inc (RFP SS202620, due November 27, 2025, valued at $143,196.00) exemplifies current demand for specialized dental imaging technology in public educational settings. The procurement was conducted under Florida Administrative Code 6A-14.0734(2)(a)(h) and Florida Statute 287.057, with a seven-business-day public posting process for sole-source justification. The source material contains limited additional recent opportunities under the code; the single documented procurement emphasizes the institutional focus of current buying — public dental hygiene programs investing in high-end diagnostic equipment rather than routine consumable supplies. Firms pursuing work under this code should expect solicitations from community colleges and public health systems in states with active dental education and public health infrastructure.
