UNSPSC 85891809: Low dose rate (ldr) brachytherapy of pineal body 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 pineal body 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 DG11BBZ

UNSPSC 85891809 Low dose rate (ldr) brachytherapy of pineal body using palladium 103 (pd-103) is a Commodity code with no identifiable 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 (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026)—falls outside the code's nominal scope and represents a mismatch between the code taxonomy and actual procurement intent. That solicitation targets ancillary clinical staffing across audiology, cardiology, diagnostic imaging, gastroenterology, and therapy services, among others, with no reference to brachytherapy, oncology, or radiation therapy procedures.

No state or local governments have posted solicitations aligned with the specialized oncology treatment specified by the code's name. Business development professionals should not pursue this code based on recent activity; the mismatch between the code's technical medical definition and current state and local demand suggests either minimal jurisdictional use of this procedure, misclassification in procurement systems, or both.
