UNSPSC 42152516 Dental mixing bowls is a Commodity code that in state and local procurement practice covers specialized dental equipment and supplies used in clinical and educational settings. The recent activity under this code reflects acquisitions of advanced diagnostic and treatment technologies for dental programs rather than consumable mixing bowls alone. State and local buyers soliciting under this code include higher-education institutions with dental and dental-hygiene programs, particularly community colleges that operate clinical training environments for students. The scope of actual purchasing extends to capital equipment purchases for dental departments, including intraoral scanning systems and related digital-imaging platforms that support both clinical instruction and patient care operations.

Valencia College's School of Allied Health, Dental Hygiene Department posted a sole-source procurement (SS202620) in November 2025 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 was conducted under Florida Administrative Code 6A-14.0734(2)(a)(h) and Florida Statute 287.057, following a seven-business-day public posting process for review of the sole-source justification. The activity under this code is concentrated in Florida, specifically among the state's post-secondary institutions. The dental equipment market under this code skews toward specialized imaging and diagnostic systems that align with accreditation and clinical-training standards for dental hygiene programs, making repeat buyer activity limited but predictable within the higher-education segment.
