UNSPSC 85891750: Low dose rate (ldr) brachytherapy of parathyroid glands using palladium 103 (pd-103)

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a radiation therapy intervention or procedure of low dose rate (ldr) brachytherapy of parathyroid glands using palladium 103 (pd-103). 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 DG14BBZ

UNSPSC 85891750 Low dose rate (ldr) brachytherapy of parathyroid glands using palladium 103 (pd-103) is a Commodity code that shows a mismatch between its nominal scope and actual state and local procurement activity. The code describes a highly specialized radiation therapy procedure for parathyroid treatment, yet the single recent opportunity in the block—a County of Santa Clara Health System RFQ for temporary health professional staffing services across ancillary clinical categories—bears no relationship to that clinical procedure. The Santa Clara solicitation seeks qualified vendors to staff positions in audiology, cardiology, diagnostic imaging, gastroenterology, orthopedics, respiratory care, sterile processing, and therapy services, explicitly excluding nursing and physician roles. This is a general staffing-pool vehicle, not procurement of a specific medical treatment or brachytherapy capability.

The geographic and recent-opportunity data do not support meaningful activity analysis. Only one recent opportunity appears in the source, and it is unrelated to the code's stated scope. Santa Clara County Health System posted a non-exclusive, multiple-award qualification RFQ (RFSQHHSFY270052) due October 7, 2026, to establish a five-year qualified vendor list for temporary ancillary health professional placement. The Health System may contract with selected vendors as operational needs arise, with no guaranteed work volume. Proposers may self-select among all thirteen eligible health professional categories or specialize in single categories without evaluation penalty. The code appears to see little or no relevant state and local procurement activity aligned with its intended use.
