UNSPSC 85891571: High dose rate (hdr) 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 high dose rate (hdr) 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 D71398Z

UNSPSC 85891571 High dose rate (hdr) brachytherapy of neck lymphatics using iridium 192 (ir-192) is a Commodity code that shows no recent state and local procurement activity aligned with its nominal scope. The single recent opportunity on record—a Santa Clara County Health System RFQ for temporary health professional staffing services (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026)—solicits ancillary clinical staffing across thirteen categories including audiology, cardiology, diagnostic imaging, gastroenterology, respiratory care, and sterile processing, with no mention of brachytherapy, oncology services, or radiation therapy. The mismatch between the code's specific clinical designation and the actual staffing services being procured suggests either a tagging error or a code that does not reflect current state and local buying patterns in this therapeutic domain.

No additional recent opportunities under this code are available to characterize issuing-body mix, geographic spread, or market activity beyond the Santa Clara County Health System solicitation. Firms evaluating this code should verify whether state and local jurisdictions are actually procuring brachytherapy services or related oncology staffing under this or adjacent UNSPSC codes before committing business development resources.
