UNSPSC 85891919: Beam radiation of head and neck 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 DW016ZZ

UNSPSC 85891919 Beam radiation of head and neck using neutron capture is a Commodity code that shows no relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The only opportunity posted under this code is a temporary health professional staffing request from the County of Santa Clara Health System (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026), which solicits staffing across ancillary clinical specialties including audiology, cardiology, diagnostic imaging, gastroenterology, and therapy services—scope wholly unrelated to neutron capture radiation therapy for head and neck treatment. The mismatch suggests either miscoding by the issuing body or a data-entry error in the opportunity record.

State and local procurement activity under this specific neutron-capture head and neck radiation code does not appear in recent solicitation records. The code likely represents a narrowly specialized therapeutic procedure that falls outside typical state and local health system purchasing patterns, which generally procure staffing, equipment maintenance, and supplies through broader clinical service codes rather than disease- or procedure-specific radiation modality codes.
