UNSPSC 85891140: Low dose rate (ldr) brachytherapy of brain 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 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 D010B9Z

UNSPSC 85891140 Low dose rate brachytherapy of brain using iodine 125, a Commodity code, shows minimal relevant recent activity in state and local procurement. The single recent opportunity in the dataset—County of Santa Clara Health System solicitation RFSQHHSFY270052 for temporary health professional staffing services—does not align with the code's scope of medical radiation oncology treatment. The staffing solicitation covers ancillary clinical roles including audiology, cardiology, diagnostic imaging, gastroenterology, orthopedics, respiratory care, and therapy services, but excludes the specialized clinical interventions and radiation equipment that the code nominally describes.

No state or local opportunities directly soliciting brachytherapy equipment, planning systems, radioactive sources, or related radiation oncology services appear in the recent posting activity. The mismatch between the code's technical scope and the single available opportunity suggests either that state and local health systems do not frequently tag brachytherapy procurement under this code, or that such acquisitions occur through alternative procurement vehicles, capital equipment contracts, or cooperative purchasing arrangements not reflected in recent open solicitations. Business development activity under this code should remain limited until more aligned opportunities emerge in state and local posting systems.
