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 DP096ZZ

UNSPSC 85891317 Beam radiation of femur using neutron capture is a Commodity code that sits within medical and surgical treatment services taxonomy. However, the recent state and local procurement activity tagged under this code does not reflect specialized radiotherapy or oncology services as the code name suggests. Instead, the County of Santa Clara Health System's recent solicitation under this code solicits temporary health professional staffing services across multiple ancillary clinical specialties, including audiology, cardiology, diagnostic imaging/radiology, gastroenterology, ophthalmology, orthopedic, respiratory care, sterile processing, surgical and operating room services, and therapy services. The Health System explicitly excludes nursing, physician, and other non-clinical staffing. This represents a significant disconnect between the code's nominal scope and what is actually being purchased — the solicitation is a staffing qualification vehicle, not a direct procurement of beam radiation treatment services.

The County of Santa Clara Health System is the only recent issuing body visible in the opportunity block, with their Temporary Health Professional Staffing Services RFQ (RFSQHHSFY270052) due October 7, 2026. This is a non-exclusive, multiple-award qualification vehicle with no guaranteed work; the Health System may maintain the Qualified List for five years and contract with selected vendors as operational needs arise. Proposers may self-select and submit qualifications for all or specific health professional categories without penalty for single-specialty focus. Qualifications and scope of services will be negotiated between each selected vendor and the County on a case-by-case basis. The code shows limited recent relevant activity aligned with its stated scope of specialized beam radiation treatment.
