UNSPSC 85891740: Low dose rate (ldr) brachytherapy of thyroid 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 thyroid 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 DG15B8Z

UNSPSC 85891740 Low dose rate brachytherapy of thyroid using iridium 192 (Ir-192) is a Commodity code that shows minimal relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The single recent opportunity tagged to this code — County of Santa Clara Health System solicitation RFSQHHSFY270052, posted July 7, 2026, with proposals due October 7, 2026 — is for temporary health professional staffing services across multiple ancillary clinical categories including audiology, cardiology, diagnostic imaging, gastroenterology, ophthalmology, orthopedic, respiratory care, sterile processing, and therapy services. This staffing solicitation bears no relationship to specialized thyroid brachytherapy procedures and appears to be a coding mismatch rather than a signal of actual demand under this code.

The absence of authentic brachytherapy procurement records in the recent-opportunities block, combined with the single misfiled staffing solicitation, indicates that state and local governments are not actively soliciting thyroid brachytherapy services under this code at present. Thyroid brachytherapy is a highly specialized oncology procedure typically performed at major medical centers and teaching hospitals; procurement of such services through state and local RFP or RFQ vehicles is uncommon, and the current dataset shows no relevant activity to evaluate issuing-body patterns or geographic concentration.
