UNSPSC 85771327: Insertion of radioactive element into left upper arm, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to insertion of radioactive element into left upper arm, percutaneous approach. 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 0XH931Z

UNSPSC 85771327 Insertion of radioactive element into left upper arm, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that does not match the work actually being solicited under it in recent state and local procurement activity. The code's nominal scope describes a specific medical procedure — brachytherapy or radioisotope implantation — yet the recent opportunities tagged to this code involve institutional healthcare administration, pharmacy benefit management, virtual primary care services, peer support programs, and emergency medical direction. These solicitations address contracting for ongoing healthcare delivery and administrative services to county populations, employee health plans, and public employees, not the insertion of radioactive elements or any closely related clinical procedure.

The mismatch between the code's taxonomy definition and actual purchasing activity suggests either a cataloging error in the issuing bodies' UNSPSC assignment or a significant disconnect between state and local procurement taxonomy application and the services being bought. The five recent opportunities span Florida (Collier County and Monroe County RFPs for pharmacy benefit management and virtual care), Georgia (Muscogee County Prison inmate medical services), California (San Mateo County behavioral health peer support and Santa Monica Fire Department medical director services), and include diverse issuing bodies — county commissions, consolidated city government finance departments, and municipal fire departments — with response dates ranging from October 2025 through July 2026. Without concrete evidence that radioactive-element insertion is actually being procured by state and local governments under this code today, this Commodity code does not represent actionable procurement activity for vendors in that service line.
