UNSPSC 85891123: High dose rate (hdr) brachytherapy of spinal cord using iridium 192 (ir-192)

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 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 D01698Z

UNSPSC 85891123 High dose rate (HDR) brachytherapy of spinal cord using iridium 192 (IR-192) is a Commodity code that shows a significant mismatch between its nominal scope — a specialized radiation-oncology clinical service — and the recent state and local procurement activity tagged to it. The most recent opportunity on record is the County of Santa Clara Health System's RFQ for temporary health professional staffing services across multiple ancillary clinical categories, posted July 7, 2026 with responses due October 7, 2026. This solicitation encompasses Audiology, Cardiology and Vascular, Diagnostic Imaging, Gastroenterology, Health Services Assistant, Medical Social Worker, Ophthalmology, Orthopedic, Patient Transporter, Respiratory Care, Sterile Processing, Surgical and Operating Room, and Therapy Services — none of which directly map to HDR brachytherapy. The code shows little relevant recent activity aligned with its stated clinical scope.

The Santa Clara Health System opportunity represents a non-exclusive, multiple-award qualification vehicle with no guaranteed work, designed to establish a vendor pool for on-call staffing needs over a five-year period. Proposers may self-select categories of specialization without penalty for single-specialty focus, and the Health System will negotiate scope and terms with each selected vendor on a case-by-case basis. All submissions must be electronic. Beyond this single recent posting, the source does not identify additional state and local opportunities soliciting HDR brachytherapy services, indicating minimal current procurement activity under this code. Business development professionals pursuing this code should verify whether the tagging reflects an actual procurement signal or a data-classification anomaly within the issuing bodies' systems.
