UNSPSC 85891415: High dose rate (hdr) brachytherapy of bone marrow using iodine 125 (i-125)

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a radiation therapy intervention or procedure of high dose rate (hdr) brachytherapy of bone marrow using iodine 125 (i-125). 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 D71099Z

UNSPSC 85891415 High dose rate (HDR) brachytherapy of bone marrow using iodine 125 (I-125) is a Commodity code with minimal recent state and local procurement activity. The single recent opportunity associated with this code — County of Santa Clara Health System RFQ RFSQHHSFY270052 — does not reflect the scope of the code itself. Santa Clara is soliciting temporary health professional staffing services across ancillary clinical categories including audiology, cardiology, diagnostic imaging, gastroenterology, ophthalmology, orthopedic services, respiratory care, sterile processing, and surgical/operating room services, with explicit exclusion of nursing and physician staffing. The mismatch between the code's narrow specialty (HDR brachytherapy using I-125) and the broad staffing pool being solicited indicates the code shows little relevant recent state and local contract activity aligned with its nominal scope.

Santa Clara County Health System is the only issuing body appearing in the recent record for this code, establishing a non-exclusive, multiple-award qualified vendor pool with no guaranteed work volume and a five-year maintenance window. The RFQ (RFSQHHSFY270052) closed October 7, 2026. The absence of additional recent opportunities in other states or jurisdictions under this code suggests limited state and local procurement demand for HDR brachytherapy services at this tier of specificity. Vendors pursuing oncology or radiation therapy service contracts should monitor higher-level Family or Class codes covering hospital and clinical staffing or specialized medical procedures more broadly rather than this narrow Commodity designation.
