UNSPSC 85891562: Low dose rate (ldr) brachytherapy of neck lymphatics using californium 252 (cf-252)

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a radiation therapy intervention or procedure of low dose rate (ldr) brachytherapy of neck lymphatics using californium 252 (cf-252). 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 D713BCZ

UNSPSC 85891562 Low dose rate (ldr) brachytherapy of neck lymphatics using californium 252 (cf-252) is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity. The single recent state and local solicitation tagged under this code—County of Santa Clara Health System request for temporary health professional staffing services (RFQ, RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026)—bears no relationship to the code's nominal scope of specialized radiation oncology treatment. The staffing solicitation covers ancillary clinical positions including audiology, cardiology, diagnostic imaging, gastroenterology, orthopedic, respiratory care, sterile processing, surgical and operating room, and therapy services; it explicitly excludes nursing, physician, and non-clinical staffing and makes no reference to brachytherapy, californium-252, or neck lymphatic treatment.

The mismatch between the code's technical specification and the actual procurement opportunity suggests either a tagging error in the underlying procurement database or minimal genuine procurement activity in the specialized brachytherapy domain at the state and local level. Without additional recent opportunities under this code that align with its stated scope, pursuing activity here would depend on direct outreach to state health departments, cancer treatment centers, or radiation oncology departments rather than monitoring routine competitive solicitations.
