UNSPSC 42152907 Dental cutting or separating discs is a Commodity code that encompasses specialized equipment and instruments used in dental procedures and education, though recent state and local activity under this code shows limited direct alignment with the nominal scope. State and local issuing bodies posting opportunities tagged to this code include higher-education institutions with dental and allied-health programs. The single recent opportunity identified involves Valencia College's School of Allied Health, Dental Hygiene Department, which is not seeking cutting or separating discs but rather advanced imaging technology—specifically iTero Lumina intraoral scanners for clinical and educational use in 3D digital dentition capture.

The recent activity under this code is sparse and geographically concentrated in Florida. Valencia College posted an IFB (Solicitation Number SS202620) on April 13, 2026, for four iTero Lumina Scanners from Align Technology, Inc., with a total acquisition cost of $143,196.00 and a response date of November 27, 2025. The procurement was conducted as a sole source acquisition under Florida Administrative Code 6A-14.0734(2)(a)(h) and Florida Statute 287.057, with no competitive bidding or set-aside designations noted. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope (cutting or separating discs) and the actual procurement (intraoral scanners) suggests either a tagging error in the source or substantial divergence between the taxonomy name and current state and local buying patterns in this category. Prospective vendors should verify code alignment with state procurement offices before pursuing opportunities flagged under this classification.
