UNSPSC 85891132: High dose rate (hdr) brachytherapy of brain stem 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 brain stem 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 D0119CZ

UNSPSC 85891132 High dose rate brachytherapy of brain stem using californium 252 (CF-252) is a Commodity code that, based on recent state and local posting activity, shows a significant mismatch between its nominal scope and actual procurement. The code's title describes a highly specialized radiation oncology treatment — HDR brachytherapy targeting brainstem tumors using californium-252 as a radiation source — yet the single recent state and local opportunity on record is an RFQP from Boswell, Mississippi (posted April 2, 2026, due April 24, 2026) for an Occupational Therapist position, which falls entirely outside the code's clinical and technical scope. This disconnect suggests either a classification error in how the opportunity was tagged or that the code is not actively used for its intended purpose in the state and local procurement market.

The code shows minimal documented activity in state and local procurement within the recent opportunity window. No issuing bodies beyond Boswell, Mississippi appear in the recent-opportunities block, and no geographic spread across multiple states or jurisdictions is evident. The single opportunity cited—an occupational therapy staffing procurement—bears no relationship to brachytherapy equipment, radioisotope supply, radiation oncology services, or any clinical modality consistent with the code's definition. Without additional opportunities that align with high-dose-rate brachytherapy service delivery, equipment, or consumables, the code does not present a clear market signal for business development purposes at this time.
