UNSPSC 85891139: Low dose rate (ldr) brachytherapy of brain using palladium 103 (pd-103)

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a radiation therapy intervention or procedure of low dose rate (ldr) brachytherapy of brain using palladium 103 (pd-103). 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 D010BBZ

UNSPSC 85891139 Low dose rate brachytherapy of brain using palladium 103 (Pd-103), a Commodity code, shows little relevant recent activity in state and local procurement. The code's nominal scope—a specialized oncology procedure using radioactive implants—does not align with the single recent opportunity tagged under it, which concerns temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical categories including audiology, diagnostic imaging, respiratory care, and therapy services.

The County of Santa Clara Health System posted RFQ RFSQHHSFY270052 on July 7, 2026, with responses due October 7, 2026, to establish a qualified vendor pool for temporary staffing in multiple health professional specialties. This staffing solicitation bears no operational connection to brachytherapy delivery and appears to reflect a classification error rather than genuine procurement under the code. State and local procurement professionals tracking this code should note the mismatch and verify classification before pursuing opportunities in this category.
