UNSPSC 42152600: Dental operatory specific supplies

In this classification, this class includes, supplies, used in dental based operatory procedures.

UNSPSC 42152600 Dental operatory specific supplies is a Class code covering specialized equipment and consumables used in dental clinical and educational settings. Based on recent state and local procurement activity, the code encompasses advanced diagnostic imaging devices such as intraoral digital scanners, along with the ancillary supplies and equipment necessary to support dental hygiene and orthodontic programs. State and local issuing bodies under this code include higher-education institutions with dental or allied-health programs, particularly community colleges operating dental hygiene departments. The scope of work reflects both clinical-practice requirements and educational-program needs, with solicitations targeting equipment that serves dual purposes in student training and patient care delivery.

Recent activity is limited. Valencia College's School of Allied Health, Dental Hygiene Department (Florida) issued a sole-source procurement notice (SS202620) in November 2025 for four iTero Lumina Scanners from Align Technology, Inc, valued at $143,196.00. The procurement, conducted under Florida Administrative Code and statute, reflects institutional demand for specialized 3D intraoral imaging technology to support dental hygiene curriculum and clinical operations. The posting process and sole-source justification suggest that this category of equipment faces significant vendor concentration around proprietary technology platforms. Geographic activity appears concentrated in Florida based on the available record, though the sparse solicitation history indicates either narrow demand or limited recent posting of opportunities in this segment.
