This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a radiation therapy intervention or procedure of beam radiation of tibia/fibula using heavy particles (protons,ions)beam radiation of tibia/fibula using heavy particles (protons, ions). 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 DP0B4ZZ

UNSPSC 85891311 Beam radiation of tibia/fibula using heavy particles (protons, ions) is a Commodity code with no recent state and local procurement activity matching its nominal scope. The single opportunity posted under this code—Santa Clara County Health System's request for temporary health professional staffing services (RFQ RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026)—is unrelated to particle beam radiation therapy and appears to be a coding mismatch by the issuing body. The staffing solicitation covers ancillary clinical roles including audiology, diagnostic imaging, respiratory care, surgical support, and therapy services, with no radiation oncology or specialized particle beam treatment component.

Given the absence of relevant recent activity under this code in state and local procurement, evaluate whether the code itself is commonly used for particle beam therapy procurement in your target markets or whether health systems and cancer treatment centers use alternative UNSPSC classifications for such services. Verify directly with state and local purchasing offices whether particle beam radiation for tibia/fibula treatment is being procured under this code, under a related clinical services code, or through alternative contracting vehicles such as managed care cooperative purchasing agreements or hospital group purchasing organizations.
