UNSPSC 85891576: Low dose rate (ldr) brachytherapy of spleen using iodine 125 (i-125)

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a radiation therapy intervention or procedure of low dose rate (ldr) brachytherapy of spleen using iodine 125 (i-125). 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 D712B9Z

UNSPSC 85891576 Low dose rate (ldr) brachytherapy of spleen using iodine 125 (i-125) is a Commodity code whose nominal scope—a specific radiotherapy procedure—does not align with recent state and local procurement activity posted under this code. The County of Santa Clara Health System's July 2026 solicitation tagged to this code (RFSQHHSFY270052) seeks temporary health professional staffing services across thirteen ancillary clinical categories including audiology, diagnostic imaging, respiratory care, sterile processing, surgical/operating room, and therapy services, with proposals due October 7, 2026. This mismatch between the code's clinical name and the actual work being bought—general temporary health professional placement—indicates the code shows little activity directly tied to its nominal iodine-125 brachytherapy scope. The Santa Clara Health System solicitation is a non-exclusive, multiple-award qualification vehicle with no guaranteed work volume; the Health System may maintain the qualified vendor list for five years and contract with selected vendors as operational needs arise.

The single recent opportunity identified is sourced from Santa Clara County, California, and formatted as an RFQ for a qualified vendor pool rather than a transactional procurement. The Santa Clara Health System explicitly excludes nursing, physician, and other non-clinical staffing from this solicitation, focusing instead on ancillary professional categories where staffing demand fluctuates with clinical operations. Proposers may submit qualifications for all or specific health professional categories without penalty for single-specialty focus, and qualifications and scope of services will be negotiated case-by-case between selected vendors and the County. All proposals must be submitted electronically. No other state and local opportunities under this code were identified in the source, suggesting minimal recent activity aligned to the code's stated therapeutic scope.
