UNSPSC 42152602 Dental operatory infection control barriers is a Commodity code that covers specialized equipment and protective systems used in dental clinical settings, though the recent state and local procurement activity under this code shows limited scope alignment with the nominal category name. Valencia College's School of Allied Health, Dental Hygiene Department pursued a sole source procurement for 4 iTero Lumina Scanners from Align Technology, Inc. — advanced 3D intraoral imaging devices for digital dental scanning rather than infection control barriers per se. The procurement, valued at $143,196.00, was conducted under Florida Administrative Code 6A-14.0734(2)(a)(h) and Florida Statute 287.057. State and local entities soliciting under this code include educational institutions with dental programs; the recent activity shows a narrow, institution-specific acquisition with no broader competitive bidding process and no explicit disadvantaged-enterprise set-asides.

The geographic spread of recent activity is limited to Florida, where Valencia College posted the sole source notice on November 18, 2025, with a formal due date of November 27, 2025, following a seven business day public posting process required for sole source justification review. The code shows little recent activity beyond this single example, and the solicitation material itself reflects a technological integration focused on clinical and educational needs rather than the infection control category the code nominally describes — a signal that either the code assignment does not match the actual procurement or activity under this code is minimal in the state and local market at present.
