UNSPSC 85891815: High dose rate (hdr) 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 high dose rate (hdr) 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 DG119BZ

UNSPSC 85891815 High dose rate (hdr) brachytherapy of pineal body using palladium 103 (pd-103) is a Commodity code that nominally describes a highly specialized radiation oncology procedure. State and local governments show no recent procurement activity aligned with this code's technical scope. The single recent opportunity tagged under this code — Santa Clara County Health System's RFQ for temporary health professional staffing services (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026) — concerns ancillary clinical staffing across audiology, diagnostic imaging, gastroenterology, orthopedic, respiratory care, and therapy services, among others. This opportunity represents a categorical mismatch and does not reflect actual procurement under the brachytherapy code. The staffing services solicitation establishes a non-exclusive, multiple-award qualified vendor pool with no guaranteed work volume and allows proposers to self-select for single or multiple specialty categories without penalty.

The geographic and issuing-body signals are minimal and unreliable given the scope mismatch. Santa Clara County Health System is the sole issuing body in the recent-opportunities record, and its temporary staffing vehicle operates as a standing qualified list maintained for up to five years with case-by-case contract negotiation. The code shows little relevant recent activity in state and local procurement. Firms pursuing specialized brachytherapy services, oncology equipment supply, or radiation-therapy staffing should not rely on this UNSPSC code as an active buying signal and should verify code alignment directly with procuring health systems before pursuing opportunities tagged under it.
