UNSPSC 42153003: Dental operative kits or trays

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 operational procedure in a medical setting. Most nations, for tariff and trade purposes, schedule these products under HS 901811.

UNSPSC 42153003 Dental operative kits or trays (Commodity) shows minimal recent activity aligned with its nominal scope; the code appears misapplied to the state and local opportunities currently posted under it. The one potentially relevant solicitation—Valencia College's School of Allied Health, Dental Hygiene Department's procurement of 4 iTero Lumina Scanners from Align Technology, Inc for $143,196.00—involves advanced 3D intraoral imaging devices rather than operative kits or instrument trays. The other two opportunities in the dataset (Texas A&M's master order for a pool of dental and medical equipment vendors, and Arlington, Texas's cyanide flow analyzer for wastewater treatment) fall outside the code's intended scope entirely. State and local buyers do not appear to be actively procuring traditional dental operative kits or trays under this code at present.

The Valencia College procurement represents a sole-source acquisition conducted under Florida Administrative Code and Florida Statute 287.057, posted on October 19, 2026 with a due date of November 27, 2025. This was the only recent opportunity in the dataset with direct relevance to dental-related procurement, and it underscores a mismatch between the code's nominal definition and actual procurement activity. No other state or local jurisdictions appear in the recent opportunities for operative kits or trays, and geographic activity is concentrated in Florida and Texas but focused on equipment outside the code's scope. Firms monitoring this code should expect limited volume aligned with its narrow definition and should verify code assignment in RFPs before submitting responses.
