UNSPSC 85891406: Low dose rate (ldr) brachytherapy of bone marrow using other isotope

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a radiation therapy intervention or procedure of low dose rate (ldr) brachytherapy of bone marrow using other isotope. 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 D710BYZ

UNSPSC 85891406 Low dose rate (ldr) brachytherapy of bone marrow using other isotope is a Commodity code that shows minimal relevance to state and local procurement activity based on recent opportunities. The single recent solicitation posted under this code—the County of Santa Clara Health System's RFQ for temporary health professional staffing services (due October 7, 2026)—addresses ancillary clinical staffing categories such as audiology, cardiology, diagnostic imaging, gastroenterology, orthopedic services, respiratory care, and sterile processing. This staffing solicitation bears no relationship to the code's nominal scope of low-dose-rate brachytherapy treatment using isotope sources. The mismatch suggests either a tagging error in the state or local procurement system or that this code does not currently reflect active state and local buying patterns.

The Santa Clara Health System RFQ is a non-exclusive, multiple-award qualification vehicle with no guaranteed work volume; selected vendors may be retained on a qualified list for five years and engaged as operational needs arise. Qualifications and scope will be negotiated case-by-case with each selected vendor. Proposals must be submitted electronically and are evaluated independently by category, with no penalty for single-specialty focus. Beyond this single opportunity in California, the source provides no additional recent state or local activity under this code. State and local procurement professionals evaluating this code should verify whether it is actively used for oncology or radiation-therapy services in their jurisdiction, as the current signal is sparse and potentially misclassified.
