UNSPSC 85891805: High dose rate (hdr) brachytherapy of adrenal 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 adrenal 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 DG1298Z

UNSPSC 85891805 High dose rate brachytherapy of adrenal glands using iridium 192 is a Commodity code that nominally describes a specialized radiation oncology procedure, but recent state and local procurement activity under this code does not reflect clinical brachytherapy services. The County of Santa Clara Health System's July 2026 solicitation tagged under this code (RFSQHHSFY270052) solicits temporary health professional staffing across thirteen ancillary clinical categories — audiology, cardiology and vascular, diagnostic imaging/radiology, gastroenterology, health services assistant, medical social worker, ophthalmology, orthopedic, patient transporter, respiratory care, sterile processing, surgical/operating room/labor and delivery, and therapy services. The mismatch between the code's stated scope and the actual work being bought suggests either miscoding in the health system's procurement filing or an outdated code assignment. State and local health systems use this code to source temporary staffing pools in clinical support roles, excluding nursing, physician, and other non-clinical positions.

The available recent activity shows minimal geographic spread: only Santa Clara County, California has posted a solicitation under this code in the current window. The Santa Clara Health System RFQ (RFSQHHSFY270052) opened July 7, 2026 with responses due October 7, 2026, establishing a non-exclusive multiple-award qualified vendor list with no guaranteed work volume and a five-year term. Proposers may self-select any or all of the thirteen eligible categories without penalty for single-specialty focus; qualifications and scope are negotiated case-by-case post-award. The code shows little relevant recent activity aligned to its nominal clinical procedure scope.
