UNSPSC 85891741: Low dose rate (ldr) brachytherapy of thyroid using cesium 137 (cs-137)

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a radiation therapy intervention or procedure of low dose rate (ldr) brachytherapy of thyroid using cesium 137 (cs-137). 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 DG15B7Z

UNSPSC 85891741 Low dose rate (LDR) brachytherapy of thyroid using cesium 137 (CS-137) is a Commodity code with no relevant recent state and local procurement activity in the source. The single opportunity tagged under this code — Santa Clara County Health System's RFQ for temporary health professional staffing services posted July 7, 2026 with a response deadline of October 7, 2026 — does not correspond to brachytherapy or thyroid cancer treatment. The Health System's solicitation explicitly covers ancillary clinical staffing categories including audiology, cardiology and vascular, diagnostic imaging, gastroenterology, and surgical support roles, which falls outside the narrow scope of a specialized oncological radiation therapy procedure. This mismatch suggests either a coding error in the county's filing or a systematic gap in state and local brachytherapy procurement visibility in the available data.

Without additional opportunities aligned to the code's nominal scope, no geographic concentration, repeat-buyer pattern, or active market characterization can be established from this record. State and local providers pursuing brachytherapy service contracts should verify whether procurement activity under this code occurs through alternative channels, cooperative purchasing vehicles, or state health department framework agreements not captured in standard RFP/RFQ/IFB posting systems.
