UNSPSC 42152506: Dental absorbent pellets

In this classification, this commodity indicates a product that is a pellet cotton or other fiber based that absorbs liquids or provides spacing in the mouths of people undergoing dental procedures. Most nations, for tariff and trade purposes, schedule these products under HS 300510.

UNSPSC 42152506 Dental absorbent pellets is a Commodity-tier code with minimal recent state and local procurement activity aligned to its nominal scope. The single recent solicitation posted under this code — Valencia College's School of Allied Health, Dental Hygiene Department's procurement (SS202620) — is a sole source acquisition of iTero Lumina digital intraoral scanning equipment from Align Technology, Inc, not absorbent pellets; the code assignment represents a tagging mismatch rather than genuine activity under the commodity category. State and local governments posting under this code are primarily educational institutions and their specialized departments, though the available record shows no repeat buyer pattern or broad issuing-body mix.

The recent opportunity was posted by Valencia College in Florida on October 19, 2026, with a response deadline of November 27, 2025, and carried a total acquisition cost of $143,196.00 for four scanner units. No other state or regional activity appears in the record, and no competitive solicitation notices (RFP, RFQ, IFB, or ITB) are present. The code shows no current market momentum for actual dental absorbent-pellet procurement among state, county, municipal, school-district, transit-authority, or special-purpose-district buyers. This code warrants watch status only; active pursuit is not supported by visible recent demand.
