UNSPSC 42152720: Dental ligature bands

In this classification, this commodity indicates a product used as a ligature band used during a general dental procedure in a medical setting. Most nations, for tariff and trade purposes, schedule these products under HS 901819.

UNSPSC 42152720 Dental ligature bands is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local activity under this code does not match its nominal scope. Valencia College's School of Allied Health, Dental Hygiene Department posted a sole source procurement in November 2025 for 4 iTero Lumina Scanners from Align Technology, Inc.—a $143,196.00 acquisition of 3D intraoral imaging devices—tagged to this code despite representing advanced diagnostic equipment rather than ligature bands or consumable dental materials. The mismatch between the code's intended product line and the scanner acquisition suggests either a cataloging error or an institutional classification practice that does not align with the UNSPSC taxonomy. No other recent state and local opportunities appear in the available records under this code.

The single opportunity identified was issued by Valencia College under Florida's sole source procurement process (Florida Administrative Code 6A-14.0734(2)(a)(h) and Florida Statute 287.057), with a response date of November 27, 2025, and no explicit set-aside designations. Given the absence of additional recent solicitations and the categorical mismatch between the code and the actual work being procured, this code shows little relevant recent activity for vendors pursuing state and local dental supplies or orthodontic consumables. Pursuit under this specific code would depend on clarifying whether the college's tagging reflects institutional practice or a data anomaly.
