UNSPSC 85891120: High dose rate (hdr) brachytherapy of spinal cord using californium 252 (cf-252)

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a radiation therapy intervention or procedure of high dose rate (hdr) brachytherapy of spinal cord using californium 252 (cf-252). 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 D0169CZ

UNSPSC 85891120 High dose rate (HDR) brachytherapy of spinal cord using californium 252 (Cf-252) is a Commodity code that shows no recent state and local procurement activity aligned with its nominal scope. The single recent opportunity tagged under this code — Santa Clara County Health System's RFQ for temporary health professional staffing services (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026) — solicits clinical ancillary staffing across audiology, radiology, gastroenterology, orthopedic, respiratory care, sterile processing, surgical/operating room, and therapy services, which does not match the specialized oncology brachytherapy service described by the code. The mismatch suggests either a classification error in the county's tagging or that this code does not reflect active state and local demand for HDR brachytherapy procedures.

No representative procurement activity under the actual scope of UNSPSC 85891120 appears in recent state and local solicitations. Without evidence of ongoing demand for HDR brachytherapy using Cf-252 isotope across state health systems, county hospitals, or other public entities, this code does not present a near-term opportunity for business development in state and local markets.
