UNSPSC 85891746: High dose rate (hdr) brachytherapy of thyroid 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 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 DG1598Z

UNSPSC 85891746 High dose rate brachytherapy of thyroid using iridium 192 (IR-192) is a Commodity code that shows no relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The single opportunity posted under this code—Santa Clara County Health System's RFQ for temporary health professional staffing services (due October 7, 2026)—addresses clinical staffing across audiology, cardiology, diagnostic imaging, gastroenterology, ophthalmology, orthopedic, respiratory care, sterile processing, surgical and operating room, and therapy services. This solicitation has no connection to brachytherapy, thyroid treatment, or radiation oncology services, which are the intended scope of the code.

The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the single recent opportunity suggests either a tagging error in the state and local procurement system or minimal actual activity under this code at the state and local level. Firms pursuing high-dose-rate brachytherapy or radiation oncology services should verify whether relevant opportunities are being posted under different UNSPSC codes or pursue them through direct outreach to health systems and cancer treatment facilities rather than relying on this code's recent activity.
