UNSPSC 85891417: High dose rate (hdr) brachytherapy of bone marrow using cesium 137 (cs-137)

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 cesium 137 (cs-137). 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 D71097Z

UNSPSC 85891417 High dose rate (HDR) brachytherapy of bone marrow using cesium 137 (Cs-137) is a Commodity code with no relevant recent state and local contract activity. The single opportunity posted under this code — County of Santa Clara Health System RFQ RFSQHHSFY270052 for temporary health professional staffing services across ancillary clinical categories including audiology, radiology, gastroenterology, respiratory care, and therapy services, due October 7, 2026 — is unrelated to HDR brachytherapy procurement. The code's nominal scope (a specialized radiation oncology procedure using cesium-137 for bone marrow treatment) does not align with the staffing services Santa Clara is actually soliciting.

The mismatch between the UNSPSC code assignment and the solicitation scope suggests either a data-entry error in the state or local procurement office's tagging system or a placeholder code used for internal routing that does not reflect the goods or services being purchased. State and local procurement offices occasionally tag opportunities with nominal codes rather than accurate commodity classifications. Without additional opportunities under this code in the recent record, pursue and decision-making should be deferred pending confirmation of actual brachytherapy-related procurement demand in target state and local markets.
