UNSPSC 85603420: Insertion of radioactive element into rectum, via natural or artificial opening

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to insertion of radioactive element into rectum, via natural or artificial opening. This surgical intervention or procedure is listed in the World Health Organization's International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems or ICD-10 as code 0DHP71Z

UNSPSC 85603420 Insertion of radioactive element into rectum, via natural or artificial opening is a Commodity code that shows no alignment with actual state and local procurement activity. The recent opportunities tagged under this code span occupational medical surveillance, independent disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical benefit programs, and emergency medical services for youth in custody—none of which involve radioactive element insertion or brachytherapy procedures of any kind. The mismatch suggests either a systematic miscoding problem in the source data or incidental misapplication of the code to unrelated health services procurement.

The tagged solicitations reflect health-system and government-employee benefits administration rather than oncologic or interventional medical procedures. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office RFP (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026) seeks independent medical evaluation services for disability determinations; the Washington State Department of Transportation RFP (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026) requests occupational medical surveillance for ferry workers; the City of Long Beach RFP (HR26753, due October 7, 2026) solicits a surgical carve-out benefit program managing elective procedures through Centers of Excellence; Collier County seeks pharmacy benefit management (RFP 25-8414, due April 9, 2026); and the County of Santa Clara Health System established a temporary health professional staffing pool (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026). None of these activities fall within the code's stated scope. State and local buyers appear not to be procuring radioactive element insertion services under this code at present.
