UNSPSC 85891441: High dose rate (hdr) brachytherapy of thymus using iridium 192 (ir-192)

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a radiation therapy intervention or procedure of high dose rate (hdr) brachytherapy of thymus using iridium 192 (ir-192). 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 D71198Z

UNSPSC 85891441 High dose rate (HDR) brachytherapy of thymus using iridium 192 (Ir-192) is a Commodity code with no recent state and local procurement activity aligned to its stated scope. The single opportunity tagged to this code — a County of Santa Clara Health System solicitation (RFSQHHSFY270052) for temporary health professional staffing services across multiple ancillary clinical categories — bears no relationship to brachytherapy or radiotherapy delivery. The mismatch suggests a classification error in the underlying records rather than authentic demand under this code.

The Santa Clara Health System RFP (due October 7, 2026) established a non-exclusive, multiple-award vendor pool for temporary staffing in thirteen service lines including audiology, cardiology, diagnostic imaging, gastroenterology, ophthalmology, orthopedic, respiratory care, sterile processing, surgical/operating room, and therapy services — none of which aligns to brachytherapy. No other recent opportunities appear in the source block to establish geographic spread, issuing-body patterns, or legitimate buying activity under the code. Practitioners in therapeutic radiotherapy, radiation oncology equipment and services, or hospital physics departments should treat this code with caution pending verification of its actual current use in state and local procurement systems.
