UNSPSC 42152914: Dental instrument mats

In this classification, this commodity indicates a product used as a tray for dental instruments, devices, and supplies used during a dental procedure. Most nations, for tariff and trade purposes, schedule these products under HS 300590.

UNSPSC 42152914 Dental instrument mats (Commodity) shows minimal recent activity under state and local solicitation, and the recorded opportunities diverge significantly from the code's nominal scope. The three most recent state and local opportunities tagged to this code are a dental imaging scanner procurement (iTero Lumina intraoral scanners), a general pool agreement for dental and medical equipment and supplies, and a cyanide flow analyzer for wastewater treatment — none of which represent dental instrument mats as traditionally understood. The scanner and general dental-equipment opportunities align tangentially with dental practice procurement, but the wastewater analyzer has no connection to the code whatsoever, suggesting either tagging error or mission creep in how the jurisdiction has applied the commodity classification.

The issuing bodies are a state educational institution (Valencia College, Florida) and two higher-education or municipal entities (Texas A&M University and the City of Arlington, Texas). Valencia College posted a sole-source ITB for four iTero Lumina Scanners from Align Technology, Inc. totaling $143,196.00, with a due date of November 27, 2025. Texas A&M University issued an ITB (TAMHSC-26-0648) on August 20, 2026 with a September 3, 2026 deadline for a master order pool of dental and medical equipment and supplies vendors, distributed through the State of Texas Centralized Master Bidders List and AggieBid portal. The City of Arlington, Texas posted an RFP on August 12, 2026 for a cyanide flow analyzer due September 10, 2026. No recent activity under this code appears in other states or jurisdictions. The code's current signal is weak — the opportunities present do not substantively reflect dental instrument mats procurement, and the source does not support characterization of meaningful ongoing demand under this Commodity classification in state and local contracting.
