UNSPSC 53131510: Denture adhesive

An adherent used to hold artifical teeth in position

UNSPSC 53131510 Denture adhesive (Commodity) shows minimal recent state and local procurement activity aligned with its code name. The single recent opportunity posted under this code — Valencia College's School of Allied Health, Dental Hygiene Department sole-source procurement for 4 iTero Lumina Scanners from Align Technology, Inc (SS202620, posted April 13, 2026) — involves intraoral digital imaging equipment for dental education and clinical training, not denture adhesive products. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and actual solicitation suggests either a tagging error in the state and local procurement system or limited routine buying of denture adhesive through formal state and local channels at the commodity level. No other recent opportunities in the source block align with denture adhesive purchasing.

The Valencia College procurement represents a specialized, institution-specific acquisition ($143,196.00 for four units) conducted under Florida Administrative Code and Florida Statute 287.057 as a sole-source purchase, suggesting that if denture adhesive is being bought at this tier, it may flow through standing cooperative agreements, agency health-services contracts, or general supplies frameworks rather than discrete solicitations. Without additional recent opportunities tagged to this code across other states or local jurisdictions, the current market signal is weak. Firms pursuing state and local procurement under this code should verify whether their products and services align with actual buying patterns — the code definition and the recent activity do not converge.
