UNSPSC 85891357: Beam radiation of sternum using neutron capture

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a radiation therapy intervention or procedure of beam radiation of sternum using neutron capture. 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 DP046ZZ

UNSPSC 85891357 Beam radiation of sternum using neutron capture is a Commodity code that shows no relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The single posted opportunity under this code—County of Santa Clara Health System's RFQ for Temporary Health Professional Staffing Services (due October 7, 2026)—concerns temporary clinical staffing across ancillary categories including radiology, surgical services, respiratory care, and related roles. This staffing solicitation does not align with the code's nominal scope of specialized oncology or hematology treatment modalities using neutron beam radiation, suggesting a tagging mismatch rather than genuine activity in the therapy itself.

The absence of direct procurement in neutron-capture beam radiation therapy reflects the specialized nature of the technology—such services are typically delivered through capital equipment procurement or sole-source clinical partnerships at academic medical centers and large regional cancer treatment facilities rather than through competitive state and local RFPs. Business development professionals evaluating this code should expect minimal activity and should focus instead on related orthopedic, oncology, or clinical engineering codes if pursuing health system contracts in radiation therapy infrastructure or staffing.
