UNSPSC 85891122: High dose rate (hdr) brachytherapy of spinal cord using iodine 125 (i-125)

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 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 D01699Z

UNSPSC 85891122 High dose rate (hdr) brachytherapy of spinal cord using iodine 125 (i-125) is a Commodity code that, based on recent state and local solicitations, does not align with the work actually being bought under this designation. The single recent opportunity tagged to this code is the County of Santa Clara Health System's RFQ for temporary health professional staffing services across multiple ancillary clinical categories—Audiology, Cardiology and Vascular, Diagnostic Imaging/Radiology, Gastroenterology, Health Services Assistant, Medical Social Worker, Ophthalmology, Orthopedic, Patient Transporter, Respiratory Care, Sterile Processing, Surgical/Operating Room/Labor and Delivery, and Therapy Services. This solicitation explicitly excludes nursing, physician, and other non-clinical staffing, and establishes a non-exclusive, multiple-award qualified vendor pool with no guaranteed work and a five-year duration.

The mismatch between the code's nominal scope (specialized cancer radiation therapy) and the Santa Clara Health System's staffing requisition suggests limited relevant recent activity under this Commodity code in state and local procurement. The Santa Clara opportunity, posted July 7, 2026 with proposals due October 7, 2026, represents temporary staffing services that fall outside the brachytherapy service line the code nominally describes. State and local bodies do not appear to be actively soliciting radiation oncology or brachytherapy services under this code at present; firms pursuing oncology or radiation therapy contracts should monitor higher-level medical service codes rather than this specialized Commodity designation.
