UNSPSC 85891442: High dose rate (hdr) brachytherapy of thymus 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 thymus 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 D71197Z

UNSPSC 85891442 High dose rate (hdr) brachytherapy of thymus using cesium 137 (cs-137) is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity. The single recent opportunity tagged to this code—Santa Clara County Health System's RFQ for temporary health professional staffing services (due October 7, 2026)—bears no relation to brachytherapy or radiation oncology. The opportunity solicits vendors to staff ancillary clinical positions in audiology, cardiology, diagnostic imaging, gastroenterology, ophthalmology, orthopedic services, respiratory care, sterile processing, surgical and labor-and-delivery support, and therapy services. This mismatch suggests either a misclassification in the procurement system or that the code has been repurposed to tag unrelated health services work.

The code's narrow specificity—addressing a single radiation therapy modality for a single anatomical site—combined with the complete absence of matching solicitation activity indicates minimal state and local procurement volume under its intended scope. No additional recent opportunities corroborate legitimate buying activity in HDR brachytherapy services or equipment. State and local health systems that perform thymic radiation therapy would be the primary potential customers, but current market signals do not support active competition or regular procurement cycles under this code designation.
