UNSPSC 85891577: Low dose rate (ldr) brachytherapy of spleen 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 spleen 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 D712B8Z

UNSPSC 85891577 Low dose rate brachytherapy of spleen using iridium 192, a Commodity code, shows a mismatch between its nominal scope and state and local procurement activity. The code describes a highly specialized radiological oncology procedure — brachytherapy treatment of splenic pathology — yet recent state and local solicitations tagged under this code do not reflect that clinical focus. No recent opportunities in the source actually solicit brachytherapy services, radiation therapy equipment, or related oncology work.

The single recent opportunity under the code, posted by the County of Santa Clara Health System in July 2026 (RFQ RFSQHHSFY270052, response due October 7, 2026), solicits temporary health professional staffing services across ancillary clinical categories including audiology, cardiology, diagnostic imaging, gastroenterology, orthopedic, respiratory care, and surgical services. This is a non-exclusive multiple-award qualification vehicle with no guaranteed work; the Health System may maintain the qualified vendor list for five years and contract with selected vendors as operational needs arise. The scope is administratively unrelated to brachytherapy or oncology, suggesting the code assignment is administrative rather than functionally accurate. State and local governments do not appear to be actively procuring low dose rate brachytherapy services under this code at present, and firms pursuing specialized radiological oncology contracts should verify the appropriate UNSPSC classification before responding to opportunities tagged to 85891577.
