UNSPSC 42152607: Dental instruments rings

UNSPSC 42152607 Dental instruments rings is a Commodity code that captures specialized dental imaging and diagnostic equipment. State and local governments—primarily public educational institutions—buy under this code digital intraoral scanners, advanced 3D imaging devices, and related dental diagnostic technology rather than traditional ring-type hand instruments. Valencia College's School of Allied Health, Dental Hygiene Department's sole source procurement for four iTero Lumina Scanners from Align Technology, Inc illustrates the actual purchasing pattern: institutions acquire high-specification imaging systems for clinical training and patient care applications within dental and orthodontic programs. The code sees activity from public college systems and health education departments pursuing specialized equipment to support curricula and clinical operations.

Valencia College (Florida) posted a sole source RFQ in November 2025 with a due date of November 27, 2025, for four iTero Lumina Scanners totaling $143,196.00, conducted under Florida Statute 287.057 with a seven-business-day public posting process. The opportunity reflects narrow, institution-specific acquisition patterns: educational institutions with dental hygiene or orthodontic programs procure this equipment infrequently, typically through sole source or limited-competition vehicles when a specific technology is deemed critical to curriculum or clinical standards. Recent activity is concentrated in Florida. The code shows limited overall frequency in state and local procurement, with no evidence of high-volume or recurring solicitations across multiple jurisdictions.
