UNSPSC 85892123: High dose rate (hdr) brachytherapy of nasopharynx using iridium 192 (ir-192)

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a radiation therapy intervention or procedure of high dose rate (hdr) brachytherapy of nasopharynx 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 D91D98Z

UNSPSC 85892123 High dose rate (HDR) brachytherapy of nasopharynx using iridium 192 (Ir-192) is a Commodity code whose nominal scope does not align with recent state and local procurement activity. The single recent opportunity in the record—the County of Santa Clara Health System's temporary health professional staffing solicitation (RFSQHHSFY270052, RFQ, due October 7, 2026)—addresses ancillary clinical staffing across audiology, cardiology, diagnostic imaging, gastroenterology, health services assistance, medical social work, ophthalmology, orthopedic, patient transport, respiratory care, sterile processing, surgical and operating room support, and therapy services. This staffing vehicle bears no operational connection to specialized brachytherapy treatment planning, delivery, or technical support. The mismatch suggests either a data tagging error in the source system or that this code receives minimal relevant procurement activity at the state and local level.

No recent opportunities under this code reflect the specialized radiotherapy services, equipment procurement, training, or clinical staffing directly tied to nasopharyngeal HDR brachytherapy with iridium-192 sources. State and local health systems may procure such services episodically through directed RFPs or cooperative purchasing vehicles, but the available record does not support characterizing geographic concentration, issuing-body patterns, or a pipeline of active solicitations under this Commodity code. Firms pursuing state and local brachytherapy-related work should monitor health department and hospital system solicitations directly rather than rely on this code classification.
