UNSPSC 85771936: Insertion of radioactive element into right upper extremity, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to insertion of radioactive element into right upper extremity, 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 0XH631Z

UNSPSC 85771936 Insertion of radioactive element into right upper extremity, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code used to classify a specific medical procedure, but it shows little relevant recent activity in state and local procurement. The five recent opportunities found in the database — an RFP for inmate medical and pharmacy services at a county jail, a PBM services contract for a county health consortium, a virtual primary and urgent care RFP for county employees, a peer support pilot project, and a fire department medical director position — do not align with radioactive element insertion procedures. The code appears to reflect a clinical service taxonomy rather than a procurement category that state and local governments use to solicit and contract for external goods or services.

The mismatch between the code's nominal scope (a radiological oncology or nuclear medicine procedure) and the actual opportunities tagged to it suggests the code may be misaligned with state and local procurement workflows. No opportunities specifically solicit radioactive implant insertion services, medical physics oversight, or related radiotherapy consumables. The recent activity instead centers on health plan administration, emergency medical services management, and general clinical staffing — categories that would fall under different UNSPSC families. Business development professionals evaluating this code should verify the coding assignments with the issuing jurisdictions directly and consider whether alternative medical-service or healthcare-equipment codes better capture the procurement activity they intend to pursue.
