UNSPSC 85891838: Beam radiation of parathyroid glands using neutron capture

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a radiation therapy intervention or procedure of beam radiation of parathyroid glands using neutron capture. 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 DG046ZZ

UNSPSC 85891838 Beam radiation of parathyroid glands using neutron capture is a Commodity code with no recent state and local contract opportunities directly matching its narrow clinical scope. The single opportunity posted under this code — Santa Clara County Health System's RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026 — solicits temporary health professional staffing services across ancillary clinical categories including audiology, cardiology, diagnostic imaging, gastroenterology, ophthalmology, orthopedic, respiratory care, sterile processing, surgical and operating room, and therapy services. This staffing solicitation bears no meaningful connection to parathyroid-gland neutron capture therapy and appears to be a coding mismatch rather than an accurate classification of the work being purchased.

The misclassification signals that this UNSPSC code has not seen substantive, properly tagged activity in state and local procurement recently. Health systems and public agencies rarely issue standalone RFQs or RFPs for highly specialized radiation oncology procedures; such services are typically procured as components of larger provider agreements, capital equipment contracts, or clinical service line arrangements classified under different codes. Vendors pursuing specialized radiation therapy services should monitor codes related to oncology services, diagnostic and therapeutic imaging, or clinical staffing arrangements for legitimate opportunities. This code does not currently represent a viable pursuit path for state and local business development.
