UNSPSC 42152503: Dental dam supplies

In this classification, this commodity indicates a product that is a thin square of latex that can be used to prevent contamination during dental procedures. US FDA regulates Dental dam supplies under 21 CFR 872.63 and under FDA product code EEF. Most nations, for tariff and trade purposes, schedule these products under HS 401699.

UNSPSC 42152503 Dental dam supplies (Commodity) covers specialized equipment and materials for dental procedures, though recent state and local procurement activity under this code shows minimal traditional dental dam procurement. The single recent opportunity on record — Valencia College's School of Allied Health, Dental Hygiene Department — solicited iTero Lumina Scanners, advanced 3D intraoral imaging devices used for digital dental scanning and treatment planning, rather than consumable dam materials. This mismatch between the code's nominal scope and what is actually being bought suggests the code sees little relevant recent activity in state and local procurement, or opportunities are being tagged to this classification despite serving a different functional purpose. When state and local bodies do procure under this code, the issuing bodies appear to include public colleges and community college systems with dental or dental hygiene teaching programs.

Valencia College issued the sole recent identified opportunity under this code on October 19, 2026, posting SS202620 for four iTero Lumina Scanners from Align Technology, Inc., with a total acquisition cost of $143,196.00 and a response deadline of November 27, 2025. The procurement followed Florida Statute 287.057 and was processed as a sole source acquisition under Florida Administrative Code 6A-14.0734(2)(a)(h), reflecting the college's determination that the specific scanner model represented a unique technological solution. The opportunity was certified by Kellie Robertson, Assistant Director of Procurement at Valencia College, and followed a seven-day public posting process for sole source review before final approval. Recent activity is concentrated in Florida, though the limited opportunity volume under this code suggests that state and local dental equipment and materials procurement may be distributed across broader supply, medical equipment, or clinical-services codes rather than consolidated here.
