UNSPSC 85892133: High dose rate (hdr) brachytherapy of larynx 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 larynx 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 D91B9BZ

UNSPSC 85892133 High dose rate (HDR) brachytherapy of larynx using palladium 103 (Pd-103) is a Commodity code that shows a significant mismatch between its nominal scope and recent state and local procurement activity. The code's technical name describes a specialized cancer treatment modality — HDR brachytherapy using a specific isotope for laryngeal tumors — yet the single recent opportunity posted under this code is a solicitation for temporary health professional staffing services across multiple clinical ancillary categories, which does not align with procurement of brachytherapy equipment, isotopes, or treatment protocols.

The County of Santa Clara Health System issued an RFQ (RFSQHHSFY270052) on July 7, 2026, with a response deadline of October 7, 2026, to establish a qualified vendor pool for temporary staffing in ancillary clinical roles including Audiology, Cardiology and Vascular, Diagnostic Imaging/Radiology, Gastroenterology, Health Services Assistant, Medical Social Worker, Ophthalmology, Orthopedic, Patient Transporter, Respiratory Care, Sterile Processing, Surgical/Operating Room/Labor and Delivery, and Therapy Services. This multi-award qualification vehicle carries no guaranteed work volume and may remain active for five years. The mismatch between the brachytherapy code and the staffing-services opportunity suggests either a tagging error in the source data or that this code sees minimal relevant procurement activity in the state and local space. Business development teams should treat this code as dormant for state and local opportunity tracking unless additional properly classified solicitations emerge.
