UNSPSC 85812013: Introduction of liquid brachytherapy radioisotope into eye, external approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a administrative intervention or procedure to introduction of liquid brachytherapy radioisotope into eye, external approach. This administrative 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 3E0CX04

UNSPSC 85812013 Introduction of liquid brachytherapy radioisotope into eye, external approach is a Commodity code that nominally describes ophthalmic brachytherapy procedures. However, the recent state and local opportunities posted under this code show little relevance to that clinical scope. Instead, the opportunities span telehealth urgent care, general medical services, geriatric care operations, occupational health screening, cancer registry support, retinal imaging devices, jail medical staffing, employee health clinics, and opioid treatment—none of which align with invasive eye radiotherapy.

The issuing bodies span state health authorities (Nevada Health Authority, Colorado Department of Human Services, Texas HHSC), counties (DeKalb, Forsyth, Brevard, Santa Clara, Seminole, San Mateo, Jackson, Cobb, Rockland), cities (Atlanta, Phoenix, Ocala), school districts (Parkway), and cooperative purchasing vehicles (Sourcewell, Region 7, H-GAC). This code shows minimal recent activity under its nominal UNSPSC category definition. The geographic spread includes California, Georgia, Nevada, Colorado, Texas, Florida, Illinois, New Jersey, New York, Kansas, Oregon, and Washington—nationwide coverage without concentration. Representative recent opportunities include the Nevada Health Authority's Program of All Inclusive Care for the Elderly (PACE) RFP (proposals due December 10, 2026, serving seniors 55+ across defined Nevada service areas), San Mateo Medical Center's Cancer Registry Services RFP (proposals due November 6, 2026, for casefinding and abstraction at an annual volume of approximately 1,000 patient records), and the Colorado Department of Human Services' Enhanced Protective Placement Beds RFP (proposals due September 10, 2026, for 12 skilled nursing facility beds serving adults with complex behavioral needs). The code appears to be a vendor-classification mismatch in state and local procurement systems—the work actually being solicited does not match the UNSPSC category name, and pursuit under this code carries low signal value.
