UNSPSC 85892108: High dose rate (hdr) brachytherapy of oropharynx using californium 252 (cf-252)

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a radiation therapy intervention or procedure of high dose rate (hdr) brachytherapy of oropharynx using californium 252 (cf-252). 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 D91F9CZ

UNSPSC 85892108 High dose rate (HDR) brachytherapy of oropharynx using californium 252 (CF-252) is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local procurement activity tagged under it does not match its clinical scope. The single recent opportunity posted under this code is the County of Santa Clara Health System's request for proposals to establish a qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing services across ancillary clinical categories including audiology, cardiology, diagnostic imaging, gastroenterology, respiratory care, sterile processing, surgical and operating room, and therapy services. The Santa Clara Health System explicitly excludes nursing, physician, and other non-clinical staffing from the solicitation. This mismatch suggests either a tagging error in the source data or that the UNSPSC code is being misapplied to general health-services procurement rather than to the specialized oncology procedure it nominally describes.

The County of Santa Clara Health System posted the staffing qualification solicitation (RFSQHHSFY270052) on July 7, 2026 with a response deadline of October 7, 2026. The vehicle is a non-exclusive, multiple-award qualified vendor pool with no guaranteed work volume; the Health System may maintain the list for five years and contract with selected vendors as operational needs arise. Proposers may self-select specific health professional categories without penalty for single-specialty focus, and qualifications will be negotiated on a case-by-case basis. All proposals must be submitted electronically. The lack of additional recent opportunities under this commodity code and the apparent disconnect between the code's clinical name and the staffing-services scope of the Santa Clara solicitation suggests limited or irregular procurement activity under this code in state and local markets.
