UNSPSC 85891565: Low dose rate (ldr) brachytherapy of neck 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 neck 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 D713B8Z

UNSPSC 85891565 Low dose rate (ldr) brachytherapy of neck lymphatics using iridium 192 (ir-192) is a Commodity code with no recent state and local procurement activity directly aligned to its nominal scope. The single recent opportunity tagged to this code — Santa Clara County Health System's RFQ for temporary health professional staffing services — involves clinical ancillary staffing across audiology, cardiology, diagnostic imaging, gastroenterology, orthopedics, respiratory care, surgical services, and therapy categories, which bears no material relationship to brachytherapy or radioisotope-based oncology treatment. The tagging appears to be a metadata mismatch rather than an indicator of actual procurement demand under the code's technical definition.

No recent state and local opportunities reflect genuine procurement for low-dose-rate brachytherapy services, equipment, or supplies using iridium-192. Without authentic recent solicitations, the geographic distribution, issuing-body profile, and market activity for this code cannot be reliably characterized. Firms considering this code should verify whether state and local health systems, cancer centers, or hospital networks in their target regions are actively procuring brachytherapy services through state or local channels, as current visibility into posted opportunities is minimal.
