UNSPSC 85891560 High dose rate (HDR) brachytherapy of axillary lymphatics using cesium 137 (Cs-137) is a Commodity code with no relevant recent state and local procurement activity supporting its nominal scope.

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) — covers ancillary clinical roles including audiology, diagnostic imaging, respiratory care, surgical services, and therapy staffing. This solicitation bears no connection to brachytherapy procurement or radiation oncology equipment and supplies. The mismatch suggests either a tagging error in the source data or use of a catchall Commodity code by the issuing body that does not reflect actual purchasing intent. State and local governments do not appear to be actively soliciting brachytherapy equipment or Cs-137 sources under this code at present.
