UNSPSC 42152901: Attachments or replacement parts for dental instruments

UNSPSC 42152901 Attachments or replacement parts for dental instruments is a Commodity code covering specialized equipment and supplies for dental clinical and educational settings, though recent state and local activity under this code shows a mismatch between the nominal scope and actual procurements posted. State and local issuing bodies soliciting under this code include higher-education institutions, particularly community colleges and university health science centers, as well as municipal utilities. The posted opportunities span procurement for advanced digital diagnostic equipment (3D intraoral scanners), pooled vendor agreements for ongoing dental and medical supply replenishment, and, in one case, wastewater treatment instrumentation unrelated to dental practice. The Valencia College School of Allied Health Dental Hygiene Department in Florida pursued a sole-source acquisition for specialized imaging technology; Texas A&M University Health Science Center established a master-order framework for on-call dental and medical equipment and supplies; and the City of Arlington, Texas posted a request for a cyanide flow analyzer for wastewater operations, which does not align with dental instrument scope.

Recent activity appears concentrated in Texas and Florida, with two of three posted opportunities originating in Texas and one in Florida. The Florida opportunity, Solicitation SS202620 from Valencia College, sought four iTero Lumina Scanners from Align Technology, Inc. for $143,196.00 under a sole-source notice with a November 27, 2025 due date. The Texas A&M opportunity, ITB TAMHSC-26-0648, established a competitive pool-of-vendors master order for dental and medical equipment and supplies with bids due September 3, 2026, requiring electronic submission through AggieBid and registration by vendors on the State of Texas Centralized Master Bidders List. The Arlington wastewater analyzer RFP (Solicitation 270014), due September 10, 2026, represents off-code activity and signals that this UNSPSC category shows limited recent authentic activity aligned to dental instrument scope in state and local procurement.
