UNSPSC 85891029: Contact radiation of spinal cord

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a radiation therapy intervention or procedure of contact radiation of spinal cord. 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 D0Y67ZZ

UNSPSC 85891029 Contact radiation of spinal cord is a Commodity code that shows a significant mismatch between its nominal scope and recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific medical procedure — contact radiation therapy targeting the spinal cord — yet the only recent solicitation tagged under it is the Santa Clara County Health System's July 7, 2026 RFQ for temporary health professional staffing services across multiple ancillary clinical categories including Audiology, Cardiology, Diagnostic Imaging, Gastroenterology, Ophthalmology, Orthopedic Services, Respiratory Care, Sterile Processing, and Therapy Services. The actual work being solicited bears no relationship to contact radiation; the misclassification suggests either a data entry error or an overly broad tagging of a staffing vehicle to an unrelated medical-procedure code.

The Santa Clara County Health System issued the only visible recent opportunity under this code, establishing a non-exclusive, multiple-award qualified-vendor pool with no guaranteed volume, a five-year maintenance window, and case-by-case scope negotiation. Proposals were due October 7, 2026, and the Health System explicitly excluded nursing, physician, and non-clinical staffing from eligibility. The code shows no discernible geographic spread across state and local jurisdictions, no pattern of repeat buyers, and no other recent opportunities. Until the code shows activity aligned with contact radiation services or a clearer stream of state and local health-system staffing procurement, it carries minimal signal for business development targeting actual spinal-cord radiation work.
