UNSPSC 42152716 Orthodontic stops or locks is a Commodity code that in recent state and local procurement activity encompasses advanced digital imaging equipment for dental and orthodontic clinical and educational use. The code shows limited relevant recent activity; the single recent posting tagged to this code is a sole source procurement by Valencia College's School of Allied Health, Dental Hygiene Department for iTero Lumina Scanners—3D intraoral scanning devices used for creating digital representations of patients' teeth and gums rather than physical orthodontic stops or locks as the code name suggests. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the equipment actually being procured suggests either a cataloging error or a deliberate broadening of the code to encompass related dental imaging technology within higher education institutional procurement.

Activity under this code in recent months is concentrated in Florida higher education; no additional representative recent opportunities appear in the source data.
