UNSPSC 85891553: Low dose rate (ldr) brachytherapy of axillary lymphatics using iridium 192 (ir-192)

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a radiation therapy intervention or procedure of low dose rate (ldr) brachytherapy of axillary lymphatics 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 D714B8Z

UNSPSC 85891553 Low dose rate brachytherapy of axillary lymphatics using iridium 192 (IR-192), a Commodity code, shows no relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The single opportunity in the recent-opportunities block—Santa Clara County Health System's temporary health professional staffing services RFQ (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026)—addresses ancillary clinical staffing across audiology, cardiology, diagnostic imaging, gastroenterology, and other health professional categories, and bears no relation to the brachytherapy procedure or radiation oncology services the code nominally describes.

The mismatch between the code's stated scope and the actual work being solicited suggests either a tagging error in the source record or that this highly specialized radiation-oncology commodity does not currently appear in state and local procurement channels. State and local health systems typically contract for brachytherapy services through other procurement vehicles or establish relationships with regional cancer centers and academic medical facilities rather than through open solicitations under this code. Without recent opportunities that align to the code's actual scope, pursue decisions should reflect the scarcity of state and local demand signals for this service line.
