UNSPSC 42152911: Dental instrument cassettes

In this classification, this commodity indicates a product used as an openable and closeable case for dental instruments, devices, and supplies used during a dental procedure. Most nations, for tariff and trade purposes, schedule these products under HS 901811.

UNSPSC 42152911 Dental instrument cassettes is a Commodity code. State and local governments rarely procure products matching this code's nominal scope; the single recent opportunity shows a mismatch between the code classification and actual purchasing activity. Valencia College's School of Allied Health, Dental Hygiene Department posted a sole-source procurement (SS202620) in November 2025 for four iTero Lumina digital intraoral scanners from Align Technology, Inc., valued at $143,196.00. This acquisition — advanced 3D imaging devices for dental and orthodontic clinical and educational use — falls outside the scope of dental instrument cassettes and represents specialized diagnostic equipment rather than consumable instrument trays or holders. The procurement followed Florida's sole-source justification process under Florida Administrative Code 6A-14.0734(2)(a)(h) and Florida Statute 287.057, with a seven business day public review period before final approval.

The code shows no recent activity aligned with dental instrument cassettes as traditionally understood in state and local procurement. The single tagged opportunity reflects a classification mismatch rather than genuine activity under this Commodity code. Practitioners tracking dental equipment, supplies, or services should monitor higher-level Family codes (42152000 Dental instruments and supplies) or adjacent codes for relevant state and local buying signals, as this Commodity code does not reflect current market demand for the product it nominally describes.
