UNSPSC 85891141: Low dose rate (ldr) brachytherapy of brain using iridium 192 (ir-192)

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a radiation therapy intervention or procedure of low dose rate (ldr) brachytherapy of brain 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 D010B8Z

UNSPSC 85891141 Low dose rate brachytherapy of brain using iridium 192 (ir-192) is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The single recent opportunity tagged under this code—a County of Santa Clara Health System RFQ for temporary health professional staffing services posted July 7, 2026—does not align with the code's nominal scope of specialized radiation oncology procedures. The solicitation seeks vendors to staff multiple ancillary clinical roles including audiology, cardiology, diagnostic imaging, gastroenterology, orthopedic, respiratory care, sterile processing, and therapy services, with proposals due October 7, 2026. This staffing request bears no operational connection to brachytherapy treatment delivery or radiation physics.

The mismatch between the code's technical designation and the actual work being solicited suggests either a cataloging error in the issuing body's procurement system or that this Commodity code does not reflect material state and local demand for low-dose-rate brachytherapy services. State and local health systems that do procure radiation oncology services—whether equipment, consumables such as iridium sources, or specialized clinical staff for treatment planning and delivery—may be tagging opportunities under different UNSPSC codes or handling them through direct purchase or cooperative agreements outside of formal RFQ cycles. Firms focused on brachytherapy supply, physics consultation, or clinical staffing for radiation oncology should verify that this code receives material opportunity flow in their target jurisdictions before allocating business development resources to monitor it.
