UNSPSC 85891105: Low dose rate (ldr) brachytherapy of peripheral nerve using iridium 192 (ir-192)

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 iridium 192 (ir-192). 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 D017B8Z

UNSPSC 85891105 Low dose rate (LDR) brachytherapy of peripheral nerve using iridium 192 (IR-192) is a Commodity code that shows no relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The single opportunity posted under this code — Santa Clara County Health System's RFQ for temporary health professional staffing services (due October 7, 2026) — is plainly unrelated to the code's nominal scope of specialized radiation therapy procedures. The solicitation covers ancillary clinical staffing in audiology, cardiology, diagnostic imaging, gastroenterology, health services assistance, social work, ophthalmology, orthopedic services, patient transport, respiratory care, sterile processing, surgical and operating room support, and therapy services. This staffing procurement bears no connection to brachytherapy delivery or radiation oncology treatment planning.

The mismatch between the code designation and the actual work being solicited suggests either a tagging error in the procurement system or that the code is not actively used by state and local health authorities for its intended purpose. Business development professionals monitoring this Commodity code should focus on direct outreach to hospital systems, county health departments, and regional cancer centers that operate radiation oncology programs, rather than relying on tagged opportunities in this code stream.
