UNSPSC 85891104: Low dose rate (ldr) brachytherapy of peripheral nerve using iodine 125 (i-125)

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a radiation therapy intervention or procedure of low dose rate (ldr) brachytherapy of peripheral nerve using iodine 125 (i-125). 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 D017B9Z

UNSPSC 85891104 Low dose rate brachytherapy of peripheral nerve using iodine 125, a Commodity code, shows minimal relevant recent activity in state and local procurement. The single opportunity identified in the recent-opportunities block—Santa Clara County Health System's RFQ for temporary health professional staffing services (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026)—is unrelated to the code's nominal scope of specialized radiation oncology treatment. The staffing solicitation covers ancillary clinical roles including audiology, radiology, cardiology, gastroenterology, respiratory care, sterile processing, surgical services, and therapy, but does not reference brachytherapy, radiation oncology, or specialized medical devices.

The mismatch between the code's specialized clinical scope and the actual staffing procurement suggests either a coding error in how the opportunity was tagged or that brachytherapy services are not currently being solicited through transparent state and local RFQ or RFP channels. Business development professionals should not pursue this code based on recent posted activity; instead, they should monitor health system oncology departments and cancer centers directly or track cooperative purchasing agreements that may cover medical equipment and specialized clinical services outside traditional open-market solicitation cycles.
