UNSPSC 53131504: Dental floss

UNSPSC 53131504 Dental floss (Commodity) shows minimal alignment with recent state and local procurement activity. The single recent opportunity identified—Valencia College's School of Allied Health, Dental Hygiene Department sole-source procurement for four iTero Lumina Scanners from Align Technology, Inc.—concerns 3D intraoral scanning equipment for dental imaging, not dental floss or oral hygiene consumables. The $143,196.00 acquisition represents a capital equipment purchase rather than supplies or disposables that would fall within the code's nominal scope. State and local governments do purchase dental supplies under related codes, but the recent activity tagged to this Commodity code does not reflect typical solicitations for floss or comparable oral-care consumables.

Florida community colleges appear to be the primary recent issuing body, though a single opportunity provides insufficient basis for characterizing the code's activity or geographic spread. The mismatch between the code name and the recent procurement suggests either a tagging error in the opportunity database or that this Commodity code is rarely used for state and local solicitations. Firms evaluating this code should verify their UNSPSC classification alignment with actual procurement databases and consider monitoring related supply codes if dental-care products are part of their portfolio.
