UNSPSC 42153002 Dental matrices or sets is a Commodity code that in recent state and local procurement activity encompasses advanced digital intraoral scanning equipment for dental clinical and educational applications. Valencia College's School of Allied Health, Dental Hygiene Department issued a sole source procurement (SS202620) in November 2025 for four iTero Lumina Scanners from Align Technology, Inc., valued at $143,196.00. The code captures specialized diagnostic and imaging hardware used in dental hygiene and orthodontic settings, though the recent activity signals that procurement under this designation may reflect broader dental equipment acquisition rather than traditional matrices or sets alone. The issuing body here is a public post-secondary institution's health sciences program, suggesting the code sees use from college dental and allied health departments alongside potential clinical settings.

The single recent opportunity on record—Valencia College's intraoral scanner acquisition—represents the Florida post-secondary education sector. 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 posting window completed by November 27, 2025. No additional recent state or local opportunities for this code appear in the available record, indicating limited current activity or potential misalignment between the code's nominal scope and actual state and local purchasing patterns for dental equipment and supplies.
