UNSPSC 85891811: Low dose rate (ldr) brachytherapy of pineal body using iridium 192 (ir-192)

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 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 DG11B8Z

UNSPSC 85891811 Low dose rate (ldr) brachytherapy of pineal body using iridium 192 (ir-192) is a Commodity code that shows a significant mismatch between its nominal scope and recent state and local procurement activity. The code's name designates a highly specialized radiotherapy procedure, yet the recent opportunity record tags temporary health professional staffing services under this code—work that bears no relationship to brachytherapy or radiation oncology. The single available recent opportunity, posted by the County of Santa Clara Health System on July 7, 2026, solicits vendor-pool qualifications for temporary staffing across thirteen ancillary clinical categories including audiology, cardiology, diagnostic imaging, gastroenterology, ophthalmology, orthopedic services, respiratory care, sterile processing, and operating-room support, explicitly excluding nursing and physician staffing.

The Santa Clara Health System opportunity (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026) structures this as a non-exclusive, multiple-award qualification vehicle with no guaranteed work and a five-year qualified-list window; proposers may self-select single or multiple categories, and contracts result only as operational needs arise. The coding error or data-entry anomaly reflects a broader procurement challenge: this code shows little relevant recent activity aligned with its stated medical procedure scope. Business development professionals seeking state and local opportunities in specialized radiotherapy or oncology brachytherapy services should not rely on this code as currently tagged in public records. No recent state or local opportunities for actual low-dose-rate brachytherapy services appear in the available dataset.
