UNSPSC 85891504: Low dose rate (ldr) brachytherapy of inguinal lymphatics using iodine 125 (i-125)

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a radiation therapy intervention or procedure of low dose rate (ldr) brachytherapy of inguinal lymphatics 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 D718B9Z

UNSPSC 85891504 Low dose rate (LDR) brachytherapy of inguinal lymphatics using iodine 125 (I-125) is a Commodity code that shows no relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The single recent opportunity tagged under this code—a County of Santa Clara Health System RFQ (RFSQHHSFY270052) for temporary health professional staffing services posted July 7, 2026, with a due date of October 7, 2026—solicits general ancillary clinical staffing (audiology, cardiology, diagnostic imaging, gastroenterology, health services assistance, medical social work, ophthalmology, orthopedics, patient transport, respiratory care, sterile processing, surgical/operating room, and therapy services) and does not align with the specific oncologic radiation therapy procedure the code nominally describes.

This mismatch suggests either a tagging error in the source jurisdiction's procurement system or that the code classification does not reflect current state and local health system contracting practice for temporary clinical staffing. Absent additional sourced opportunities demonstrating actual brachytherapy procurement under this code, practitioners evaluating whether to pursue work in this commodity should treat the signal as a false positive and verify coding accuracy with issuing bodies directly before committing resources to monitoring this code's activity.
