UNSPSC 42152520: Dental cuspidors

In this classification, this commodity indicates a product that is a fixture provided on some dental operating units into which patients can expectorate. US FDA regulates Dental cuspidors under 21 CFR 872.6640 and under FDA product code NRD. Most nations, for tariff and trade purposes, schedule these products under HS 901819.

UNSPSC 42152520 Dental cuspidors is a Commodity code that captures dental equipment and supplies purchased by state and local educational and healthcare institutions, though recent solicitation activity shows a significant mismatch between the code's nominal scope and actual procurement. The single recent opportunity under this code is a sole source acquisition by Valencia College's School of Allied Health, Dental Hygiene Department for four iTero Lumina Scanners—advanced 3D intraoral imaging devices used for digital dental and orthodontic diagnostics—rather than traditional dental cuspidors (suction basins). This suggests the code may be misapplied in state and local procurement systems or that its scope has shifted to encompass broader dental diagnostic technology. State and local dental programs and educational institutions appear to be the primary buyers under this code, though the opportunity set is currently limited to this single visible posting.

Valencia College, a Florida community college, posted solicitation SS202620 on October 19, 2026, as a sole source IFB to acquire the four iTero Lumina Scanners from Align Technology, Inc., with a total acquisition cost of $143,196.00 and a response due date of November 27, 2025. The procurement was conducted under Florida Administrative Code 6A-14.0734(2)(a)(h) and Florida Statute 287.057. No other recent state or local opportunities appear in the source under this code, and no broader geographic distribution of activity is evident. The narrow, institution-specific nature of this procurement and the absence of additional recent opportunities suggest limited current activity volume under this code for business development purposes.
