UNSPSC 42153006: Dental wedges or sets

In this classification, this commodity indicates a product used as a wedge and accessories used in a dental procedure. Most nations, for tariff and trade purposes, schedule these products under HS 901811.

UNSPSC 42153006 Dental wedges or sets is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local opportunity tagged under it—Valencia College's School of Allied Health, Dental Hygiene Department sole-source procurement for iTero Lumina digital intraoral scanners—does not align with the code's nominal scope. The opportunity reflects acquisition of advanced 3D imaging diagnostic equipment for dental education and clinical use, not consumable wedges or restorative materials. This mismatch suggests either a cataloging error in the jurisdiction's coding or a use of the code to encompass broader dental equipment procurement beyond its named commodity. State and local education agencies appear to be the primary buyers under this code's designation, though the single recent opportunity provides insufficient basis to characterize issuing-body distribution or repeat-buyer patterns.

The code shows minimal recent activity in state and local procurement records. Valencia College, a Florida community college, posted a sole-source ITB on November 18, 2025 with a response deadline of November 27, 2025 for $143,196.00 in scanner equipment designated exclusively for Align Technology, Inc. Geographic concentration cannot be established from a single opportunity. The procurement was conducted under Florida Administrative Code 6A-14.0734(2)(a)(h) and Florida Statute 287.057, following a seven-business-day public review process for sole-source justification. No set-aside designations or preferences were noted. The narrow institution-specific nature of this acquisition and the code's apparent mismatch with actual procurement scope suggest limited near-term opportunity volume under this designation for vendors not already entrenched in sole-source relationships with educational dental programs.
