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 D717B8Z

UNSPSC 85891517 Low dose rate (ldr) brachytherapy of pelvis lymphatics using iridium 192 (ir-192) is a Commodity code that shows a significant disconnect between its nominal clinical radiation-therapy scope and recent state and local procurement activity. The recent opportunities block contains no solicitations aligned with brachytherapy services, radiation oncology, or medical physics work. Instead, the single recent opportunity tagged under this code is the County of Santa Clara Health System's July 7, 2026 RFQ for temporary health professional staffing services across multiple ancillary clinical categories — audiology, cardiology, diagnostic imaging, gastroenterology, health services assistant, medical social worker, ophthalmology, orthopedic, patient transporter, respiratory care, sterile processing, surgical/operating room, and therapy services. This mismatch indicates that the code may be miscoded in the state and local opportunities database, or that the category is inactive for its intended purpose in the state and local procurement market.

The County of Santa Clara Health System's temporary health professional staffing vehicle is a non-exclusive, multiple-award qualification pool with proposals due October 7, 2026; selected vendors will be placed on a Qualified List maintained for up to five years, with work contracted on a case-by-case basis as operational needs arise and no guaranteed volume. The Health System explicitly excludes nursing, physician, and non-clinical staffing from the solicitation and allows proposers to submit for all or specific categories without penalty. Based on the available source material, this code shows little relevant recent activity aligned with its stated brachytherapy focus in state and local procurement.
