UNSPSC 42330300: Dental

Kits intended to facilitate dental surgery.

UNSPSC 42330300 Dental, a Class code, encompasses comprehensive dental clinical services and equipment that state and local governments procure for institutional care, public health programs, and employee benefits—ranging from routine exams and preventive care to oral surgery, anesthesia, and specialized imaging equipment. State and local buyers under this code include Texas Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC) for state-supported living centers across multiple regions, the City of Atlanta Department of Corrections for inmate care, Williamson County for jail dental services, Valencia College for educational clinical programs, the City of Detroit for public dental health centers, and the City of Jackson for municipal employee dental benefits. Recent solicitations show HHSC as a dominant, repeat issuer, posting dental services RFPs and IFBs for facilities in Lubbock, San Angelo, Austin, Abilene, Corpus Christi, and El Paso; representative recent opportunities include IFB HHS0017648 (San Angelo SSLC dental anesthesia services, due July 30, 2026), IFB HHS0018063 (San Angelo SSLC comprehensive dental services, due October 26, 2026, with an addendum posted October 16, 2026), and a sole-source procurement by Valencia College for iTero Lumina Scanners due November 27, 2025.

Activity is concentrated in Texas, where HHSC manages recurring dental procurement cycles tied to state fiscal years (September 1 start dates are standard). Additional geographic presence includes Georgia (City of Atlanta prequalification and IFB for correctional dentistry, prequalification due June 30, 2026), Michigan (City of Detroit sole-source oral health services procurement), Mississippi (City of Jackson employee dental benefits RFP, due September 1, 2026), Florida (Valencia College scanner procurement), and California (County of Santa Clara Health System qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing, proposals due October 7, 2026, which lists dental-adjacent but excludes dental directly). Scope of work reflects facility-based dental care for vulnerable populations—individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities, inmates, state hospital patients, and students—with pricing typically structured as firm fixed hourly or per-procedure rates, insurance requirements standardized at $1 million per coverage line, and contract terms commonly running one year (September 1 through August 31) with optional one-year extensions at the buyer's discretion. Competitive and sole-source procurement vehicles both appear; HHSC uses standard IFBs with best-value evaluation, while specialized procurements (correctional dentistry, institutional anesthesia) sometimes employ prequalification or sole-source justification based on unique credentialing or continuity-of-care requirements.
