UNSPSC 85891823: Low dose rate (ldr) brachytherapy of pituitary gland 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 pituitary gland 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 DG10B8Z

UNSPSC 85891823 Low dose rate brachytherapy of pituitary gland using iridium 192, a Commodity code, shows minimal alignment with recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally covers a specialized radiation oncology procedure — low dose rate brachytherapy targeting the pituitary gland using iridium 192 as the radiation source — but the single recent opportunity tagged under it does not reflect this scope.

The County of Santa Clara Health System posted RFQ RFSQHHSFY270052 on July 7, 2026, due October 7, 2026, to establish a qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing services across thirteen ancillary clinical categories including audiology, diagnostic imaging, respiratory care, and surgical services. This is a non-exclusive, multiple-award qualification vehicle with no guaranteed work; the Health System may maintain the Qualified List for five years and contract with selected vendors as operational needs arise. The solicitation explicitly excludes nursing, physician, and other non-clinical staffing. The mismatch between the code's stated scope — a specific therapeutic radiation procedure — and the actual opportunity being solicited suggests either a coding error or a narrow historical use of this Commodity code that does not reflect current state and local procurement patterns. No other recent state and local opportunities appear under this code. Business development professionals should treat this code as inactive for current procurement purposes unless evidence emerges of health systems or radiation oncology centers posting procedure-specific staffing or equipment contracts under this identifier.
