UNSPSC 85891536: High dose rate (hdr) brachytherapy of abdomen lymphatics 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 abdomen lymphatics 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 D71697Z

UNSPSC 85891536 High dose rate (hdr) brachytherapy of abdomen lymphatics using cesium 137 (cs-137) is a Commodity code that the source shows little relevant recent activity for. The single state and local opportunity tagged with this code—County of Santa Clara Health System's RFQ for temporary health professional staffing services across ancillary clinical categories including audiology, radiology, cardiology, gastroenterology, ophthalmology, orthopedic, respiratory care, sterile processing, surgical/operating room, and therapy services—does not align with the code's nominal scope of specialized radiation oncology brachytherapy treatment. The mismatch suggests either a tagging error in the source data or that this particular code does not reflect active state and local procurement for the specific treatment modality it names.

The County of Santa Clara Health System issued the sole recent opportunity (RFSQHHSFY270052, RFQ due October 7, 2026) as a non-exclusive, multiple-award qualification vehicle establishing a qualified vendor pool for temporary staffing; placement on the list carries no guarantee of contract award or work volume, and qualifications and scope are negotiated case-by-case between the Health System and selected vendors. Geographic activity is limited to California based on the single posting. Practitioners should verify whether this code is intended to capture radiation oncology services or whether state and local procurement under the true scope of cesium-137 brachytherapy appears under a different classification.
