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 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 D01198Z

UNSPSC 85891135 High dose rate (HDR) brachytherapy of brain stem using iridium 192 (Ir-192) is a Commodity code that shows no relevant recent state and local contract activity. The single recent opportunity tagged under this code—Santa Clara County Health System's RFSQHHSFY270052 for temporary health professional staffing services across audiology, cardiology, diagnostic imaging, gastroenterology, and other ancillary clinical roles—is unrelated to HDR brachytherapy, which is a specialized radiation oncology procedure. The staffing solicitation covers temporary placement of clinical professionals in multiple disciplines, not the procurement of medical physics services, treatment planning, or therapeutic procedures specific to brain stem brachytherapy using iridium sources.

This code does not appear to be in active use for state and local procurement, or the classification has been misapplied to general health workforce solicitations rather than specialty medical procedures. Business development professionals should verify whether the issuing body and procurement platform are correctly tagging opportunities under this Commodity code, or whether opportunities in HDR brachytherapy and other specialized oncology services are cataloged elsewhere within the UNSPSC taxonomy at the state and local level.
