UNSPSC 85891758: High dose rate (hdr) brachytherapy of parathyroid glands 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 parathyroid glands 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 DG1498Z

UNSPSC 85891758 High dose rate brachytherapy of parathyroid glands using iridium-192 is a Commodity code that shows no relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The single posted opportunity under this code—a County of Santa Clara Health System RFQ for temporary health professional staffing services—addresses general ancillary clinical staffing across audiology, radiology, cardiology, gastroenterology, orthopedic, respiratory care, surgical services, and therapy categories with proposals due October 7, 2026. This staffing solicitation has no connection to the specialized oncology treatment modality the code nominally describes and does not represent actual purchasing activity under this Commodity.

The mismatch between the code's narrow technical scope—a radiation therapy procedure for parathyroid pathology—and the general health-system staffing pool opportunity suggests either miscoding in the state or local procurement system or a data artifact. State and local health systems do purchase specialized oncology and radiotherapy services, but this particular code does not surface meaningful procurement signals. Firms pursuing brachytherapy or radiation oncology contracting should monitor broader family-level health services codes and direct outreach to county health systems and hospital networks rather than rely on activity under this Commodity code.
