UNSPSC 53131506: Dental or oral hygiene kit

Personal or professional assortment of products used to accomplish care of teeth, gums, or mouth.

UNSPSC 53131506 Dental or oral hygiene kit is a Commodity code under which state and local governments procure specialized dental equipment and supplies, including digital imaging technology for clinical and educational dental programs. The recent opportunity record shows a narrowly scoped acquisition focused on advanced 3D intraoral scanning systems rather than consumable hygiene kits. Valencia College's School of Allied Health, Dental Hygiene Department pursued a sole source procurement for four iTero Lumina Scanners from Align Technology, Inc., totaling $143,196.00, under Florida Administrative Code and Florida Statute 287.057. The procurement reflects institutional investment in specialized digital diagnostic technology for clinical training and patient care, representing the kind of high-value equipment acquisition that educational dental programs undertake to modernize their operational and instructional infrastructure.

Activity under this code appears concentrated in Florida's higher education system, specifically among public college dental hygiene and allied health programs. Valencia College issued the sole source notice (SS202620) with a response date of November 27, 2025. The use of a sole source justification under Florida's procurement statute suggests that specialized dental imaging equipment commands narrow supplier bases, and that institutional procurement at the college level may favor direct-award mechanisms when clinical needs align with proprietary technology platforms. No other recent opportunities appear in the source block, indicating limited concurrent activity across state and local jurisdictions under this Commodity code at this time.
