UNSPSC 85891569: High dose rate (hdr) brachytherapy of neck lymphatics using palladium 103 (pd-103)

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a radiation therapy intervention or procedure of high dose rate (hdr) brachytherapy of neck lymphatics using palladium 103 (pd-103). 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 D7139BZ

UNSPSC 85891569 High dose rate brachytherapy of neck lymphatics using palladium 103 is a Commodity code that shows no relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The single recent opportunity tagged under this code—Santa Clara County Health System's RFQ for temporary health professional staffing services (due October 7, 2026)—is plainly unrelated to brachytherapy or any radiotherapy service. The staffing solicitation covers ancillary clinical roles in audiology, cardiology, diagnostic imaging, gastroenterology, respiratory care, surgical services, and therapy, but does not name brachytherapy, oncology, or radiotherapy staff or equipment. The mismatch suggests either a coding error in the state procurement database or a broad-brush tagging of health-system staffing needs that does not reflect the code's actual clinical scope.

Without additional opportunities in the source record, no reliable signal emerges about issuing-body concentration, geographic spread, or volume of brachytherapy-related procurement under this code. A business development professional pursuing radiotherapy or brachytherapy services should verify whether state and local health systems are using the correct UNSPSC code for such solicitations before committing resources to monitor this code.
