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 (Commodity) shows minimal recent activity aligned with its nominal scope; the single recent opportunity posted under this code is a sole source procurement by Valencia College's School of Allied Health, Dental Hygiene Department for four iTero Lumina Scanners from Align Technology, Inc., which are advanced 3D intraoral imaging devices unrelated to absorbent pellets or consumable dental materials. The code does not capture meaningful state and local procurement of the products its name describes.

The Valencia College procurement (SS202620, posted April 13, 2026, with a due date of November 27, 2025) represents a specialized capital equipment acquisition of $143,196.00 conducted under Florida Administrative Code and statute for a single institution's clinical and educational needs, not a category where state and local buying activity concentrates. No additional recent opportunities under this Commodity code are present in the source. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the actual opportunity solicited suggests either a tagging error or that this code sees no current activity in the dental consumable supplies market where state and local procurement offices would typically apply it.
