UNSPSC 85632454: Insertion of radioactive element into left breast, 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 left breast, 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 0HHU71Z

UNSPSC 85632454, Insertion of radioactive element into left breast via natural or artificial opening (Commodity), shows no relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The code's nominal scope—a highly specific clinical procedure—does not align with the opportunities posted under this designation. Recent solicitations tagged to this code include independent medical evaluation services for disability benefit determinations (City of Phoenix Retirement Office, RFP, October 16, 2026 response date), surgical benefit carve-out programs for health plan beneficiaries (City of Long Beach, RFP, October 7, 2026), occupational medical surveillance for transportation workers (Washington State Department of Transportation, RFP, October 9, 2026), temporary health professional staffing services across ancillary clinical specialties (County of Santa Clara Health System, RFQ, October 7, 2026), and pharmacy benefit management administration (Collier County Board of County Commissioners, RFP, April 9, 2026). None of these opportunities involve brachytherapy, oncology procedures, or radioisotope insertion.

The mismatch suggests that the code assignment is inconsistent with the work state and local buyers are actually soliciting. Issuers span county health systems, city retirement offices, state transportation departments, and county human resources divisions across California, Arizona, Washington, and Florida, but their needs center on benefits administration, staffing coordination, occupational health compliance, and pharmacy program management—activities well outside the clinical domain this commodity code nominally addresses. A firm evaluating this code for state and local opportunity pursuit should verify code assignment accuracy in any RFP or RFQ it encounters, as the taxonomy classification does not reflect current buying patterns.
