UNSPSC 42152511: Dental dishes

In this classification, this commodity indicates a product that acts as a dish and are used for mixing and holding very small quantities of liquids or solids associated with dental procedures. Most nations, for tariff and trade purposes, schedule these products under HS 901819.

UNSPSC 42152511 Dental dishes (Commodity) covers specialized dental equipment and supplies procured by state and local educational and healthcare institutions, though recent solicitation activity under this code shows minimal alignment with the nominal taxonomy description. Valencia College's School of Allied Health posted a sole source procurement for 4 iTero Lumina Scanners from Align Technology, Inc., a digital intraoral imaging device used for 3D dental and orthodontic diagnostics rather than traditional dental dishes. The procurement, valued at $143,196.00, was conducted under Florida Administrative Code 6A-14.0734(2)(a)(h) and Florida Statute 287.057, following a seven-day public posting period before final approval. This appears to represent the only recent state or local opportunity tagged under the code in the available dataset.

The single identified opportunity originated from a Florida higher-education institution (Valencia College) with a November 27, 2025 response deadline. The code shows limited recent activity in state and local procurement, and the one available record suggests a tagging mismatch — the iTero Lumina Scanner is dental diagnostic imaging equipment that does not fit the literal scope of "dental dishes." Businesses evaluating this code should treat current activity as sparse and consider whether the actual purchasing category may be mislabeled in state and local procurement systems or consolidated under alternative UNSPSC codes for dental equipment or imaging devices.
