UNSPSC 85891009: Beam radiation of brain stem using electrons

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a radiation therapy intervention or procedure of beam radiation of brain stem using electrons. This 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 D0013ZZ

UNSPSC 85891009 Beam radiation of brain stem using electrons is a Commodity code that the source shows carries little relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The Santa Clara County Health System's July 2026 solicitation for temporary health professional staffing services (RFSQHHSFY270052, RFQ, due October 7, 2026) — the sole recent opportunity tagged to this code — involves clinical and ancillary staffing placement across audiology, cardiology, diagnostic imaging, gastroenterology, orthopedic, respiratory care, sterile processing, surgical services, and therapy categories. This staffing procurement bears no relationship to the code's nominal scope of electron-beam radiation oncology targeting the brain stem. The mismatch suggests either a tagging error in the state or local posting system or a fundamental misalignment between the code's medical-service taxonomy and how jurisdictions are using it.

The source contains no additional geographic, issuing-body, or opportunity data beyond the Santa Clara County Health System RFQ. Unless the code is actively used for oncology radiation planning or related health physics services under different framing in other jurisdictions, pursuit of opportunities under this code should be approached with caution pending verification that future solicitations align with the actual clinical service or equipment scope intended.
