UNSPSC 85891106: Low dose rate (ldr) brachytherapy of peripheral nerve using cesium 137 (cs-137)

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 cesium 137 (cs-137). 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 D017B7Z

UNSPSC 85891106 Low dose rate brachytherapy of peripheral nerve using cesium 137, a Commodity code, shows little relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The single recent opportunity tagged to this code—a County of Santa Clara Health System RFQ for temporary health professional staffing services (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026)—bears no relationship to brachytherapy, cesium-137 medical devices, or radiation oncology services. The staffing RFQ solicits vendors to supply temporary clinical personnel across thirteen ancillary health professions including audiology, cardiology, diagnostic imaging, gastroenterology, orthopedics, respiratory care, sterile processing, and therapy services, none of which aligns with the code's nominal scope of low-dose-rate peripheral nerve brachytherapy treatment. The mismatch suggests either a cataloging error in how the opportunity was tagged or that state and local buyers are not currently soliciting brachytherapy equipment, supplies, or related services under this code.

Without additional recent opportunities in the source material, no pattern of issuing-body mix, geographic concentration, or representative work emerges. Brachytherapy procurement—to the extent it occurs at state or local health systems, teaching hospitals, cancer centers, or specialty facilities—may be classified under different UNSPSC codes, procured through group purchasing organizations, or integrated into broader oncology or medical-equipment families. Firms evaluating this code should verify current activity through direct searches of state and local RFP databases and outreach to state health department procurement offices and large teaching hospitals before committing business-development resources.
