UNSPSC 42152930: Refills or refill kits for dental post systems

In this classification, this commodity indicates a product that is a prepackaged collection (either custom or standard) of the equipment and supplies used to perform a dental refilling procedure in a medical setting. Most nations, for tariff and trade purposes, schedule these products under HS 901890.

UNSPSC 42152930 Refills or refill kits for dental post systems is a Commodity code; however, the single recent state and local opportunity posted under it does not align with the code's nominal scope. Valencia College's School of Allied Health, Dental Hygiene Department posted a sole source procurement (SS202620) for four iTero Lumina intraoral scanners from Align Technology, Inc., a digital imaging device acquisition rather than consumable refills or post-system components. The college conducted the procurement under Florida Administrative Code 6A-14.0734(2)(a)(h) and Florida Statute 287.057 with a total cost of $143,196.00 for the four units. The sole source justification indicates that the iTero Lumina represents a unique technological solution unavailable from alternative manufacturers, resulting in a narrow, institution-specific acquisition with no competitive bidding process.

The code shows little activity consistent with its stated purpose. The single recent opportunity originates from Florida—Valencia College, a public institution within the Florida College System—and reflects a mismatch between the UNSPSC categorization (consumable refills for dental post systems) and what is actually being procured (capital equipment for digital dental scanning). No other recent state and local solicitations appear in the source under this code. Business development professionals should verify whether their dental supply portfolios align with consumable refill markets before pursuing opportunities tagged to this code, as the current activity does not demonstrate an active state and local procurement pipeline for the stated commodity.
