UNSPSC 85891128: Low dose rate (ldr) brachytherapy of brain stem using iodine 125 (i-125)

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a radiation therapy intervention or procedure of low dose rate (ldr) brachytherapy of brain stem 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 D011B9Z

UNSPSC 85891128 Low dose rate brachytherapy of brain stem using iodine 125, a Commodity code, shows little relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The recent opportunity tagged under this code — a Santa Clara County Health System RFQ for temporary health professional staffing services (response due October 7, 2026) — is unrelated to the code's clinical oncology scope and represents a misclassification in the state and local database.

The Health System solicitation concerns placement on a qualified vendor pool for ancillary clinical staffing across thirteen categories including audiology, cardiology, diagnostic imaging, ophthalmology, orthopedic services, respiratory care, surgical operating room support, and therapy services, with no guaranteed work volume and vendor qualification valid for up to five years. This temporary staffing focus bears no connection to brachytherapy or brain stem oncology treatment. Without additional recent opportunities properly classified under this Commodity code, no reliable signal exists regarding current state and local demand for low-dose-rate iodine-125 brachytherapy services, the issuing-body mix, or geographic concentration. The mismatch suggests that procurement offices are not consistently or regularly tagging brachytherapy-related work under this code, or such work is not being solicited through state and local channels at present.
