UNSPSC 42152804 Periodontal implant to bone interface testing instruments (Commodity) shows minimal recent activity in state and local procurement, with the opportunities posted under this code bearing little substantive connection to the code's nominal scope. The three recent opportunities include a sole-source acquisition by Valencia College for iTero Lumina intraoral scanners used in dental hygiene education and clinical training; a Texas A&M University master-order agreement for a pool of vendors to supply dental and medical equipment and supplies on an on-demand basis; and a cyanide flow analyzer for wastewater treatment operations at the City of Arlington, Texas. Only the Valencia College and Texas A&M solicitations tangentially relate to dental equipment, while the Arlington cyanide analyzer is unrelated to the code's stated focus on periodontal implant testing instrumentation. The issuing bodies reflect a mix of higher-education institutions (Valencia College and Texas A&M University) and municipal government (City of Arlington), though the geographic and subject-matter spread suggests misclassification or tag overlap rather than coherent procurement activity under this code.

Recent activity is concentrated in Texas and Florida, with the Valencia College procurement valued at $143,196.00 for four scanner units and closing on November 27, 2025 (posted October 19, 2026 under sole-source procedures); the Texas A&M master-order ITB (TAMHSC-26-0648) closing September 3, 2026; and the Arlington RFP (Solicitation 270014) closing September 10, 2026. The code appears underutilized or misapplied in current state and local procurement activity, as the posted opportunities do not consistently reflect the specialized periosteal and osseointegration testing instrumentation implied by the Commodity description. Buyers evaluating this code should verify whether sourcing opportunities actually require periodontal implant interface testing equipment or whether state and local solicitations are being tagged to this code in error.
