UNSPSC 85892109: High dose rate (hdr) brachytherapy of oropharynx 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 oropharynx 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 D91F9BZ

UNSPSC 85892109 High dose rate (HDR) brachytherapy of oropharynx using palladium 103 (Pd-103) is a Commodity code that shows no relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The single recent opportunity tagged under this code, solicitation RFSQHHSFY270052 from the County of Santa Clara Health System posted July 7, 2026, is for temporary health professional staffing services across ancillary clinical categories including audiology, cardiology, diagnostic imaging, gastroenterology, ophthalmology, orthopedic services, respiratory care, sterile processing, surgical and operating room services, and therapy services—a staffing and personnel placement contract entirely outside the narrow scope of specialized oncology brachytherapy procedures that the code nominally describes.

The mismatch between the code's technical specialty (radiation oncology procedures using specific isotopes) and the actual work being procured under it signals either a data-entry error in the state and local opportunity database or a fundamental misalignment between the UNSPSC taxonomy and the way this jurisdiction tags ancillary health services. No additional opportunities or issuing bodies appear in the source. Practitioners evaluating this code should verify the accuracy of the tagging before committing resources to market research or pursuit strategy under this Commodity classification.
