UNSPSC 85891130: Low dose rate (ldr) brachytherapy of brain stem using cesium 137 (cs-137)

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 cesium 137 (cs-137). 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 D011B7Z

UNSPSC 85891130 Low dose rate brachytherapy of brain stem using cesium 137 (cs-137) is a Commodity code that shows no relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The single recent opportunity tagged under this code—County of Santa Clara Health System's RFQ for temporary health professional staffing services (due October 7, 2026)—falls outside the code's nominal scope of specialized radiation oncology treatment and instead covers ancillary clinical staffing across audiology, cardiology, diagnostic imaging, gastroenterology, and related disciplines. The mismatch suggests either a tagging error in the underlying opportunity record or a fundamental misalignment between the code's clinical definition and how this particular jurisdiction classified its solicitation.

No representative opportunities under this code's actual treatment scope appear in recent state and local records reviewed. Procurement professionals evaluating this code should flag the tagging inconsistency and conduct direct outreach to state health departments, county medical systems, and hospital authorities to identify whether brachytherapy equipment, supplies, or related clinical services are actually being solicited through state and local channels and under what codes those opportunities are properly classified.
