UNSPSC 42153000: Dental and subspecialty instrument and device sets

In this classification, this class includes the sets of accessories for instruments, sets of devices and sets of components utilized in specialized dental based procedures.

UNSPSC 42153000 Dental and subspecialty instrument and device sets is a Class code encompassing specialized diagnostic and treatment equipment for dental education and clinical practice. State and local governments procure this code primarily through education institutions and healthcare systems acquiring advanced imaging and scanning technology, diagnostic instrumentation, and specialized dental equipment sets. Recent solicitations show a mix of sole-source acquisitions for cutting-edge digital intraoral scanning systems and competitive bidding for broader pools of dental and medical equipment and supplies. Education institutions, particularly community colleges and university dental hygiene and health sciences programs, drive much of the recent activity, seeking to upgrade clinical infrastructure and student training environments with current diagnostic technology.

Valencia College's School of Allied Health in Florida conducted a sole-source procurement in late 2025 for four iTero Lumina Scanners from Align Technology, Inc. valued at $143,196.00 under Florida's sole-source statutory authority, with a due date of November 27, 2025. Texas A&M University's Division of Finance Procurement Services issued an ITB (TAMHSC-26-0648) on August 20, 2026 for a master order pool of vendors to supply dental and medical equipment and supplies on an on-demand basis, with responses due September 3, 2026. The geographic spread remains limited in recent postings, with Florida and Texas representing the most visible activity. A third opportunity posted by the City of Arlington, Texas on August 12, 2026 for a cyanide flow analyzer due September 10, 2026 falls outside the dental and subspecialty instrument scope despite its UNSPSC tagging, suggesting occasional code misclassification in municipal submissions.
