UNSPSC 85891113: Low dose rate (ldr) brachytherapy of spinal cord using other isotope

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a radiation therapy intervention or procedure of low dose rate (ldr) brachytherapy of spinal cord using other isotope. 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 D016BYZ

UNSPSC 85891113 Low dose rate (LDR) brachytherapy of spinal cord using other isotope 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 RFSQHHSFY270052, a temporary health professional staffing vehicle with proposals due October 7, 2026—solicits ancillary clinical staffing services including audiology, diagnostic imaging, respiratory care, and surgical support roles. This opportunity is unrelated to the code's nominal scope of specialized radiation therapy treatment and does not represent purchasing aligned with the code's stated commodity classification.

The mismatch between the code and the actual work being solicited indicates that either the code was misapplied to this opportunity or the code itself sees minimal relevant activity within state and local procurement. Without additional solicitations properly aligned to LDR brachytherapy services, no reliable characterization of issuing bodies, geographic concentration, or representative ongoing demand can be drawn from available sources. Firms evaluating this code should verify whether state and local health systems and cancer treatment centers are indeed using this classification for radiation oncology procurement, or whether the code remains inactive in the state and local market.
