UNSPSC 85892134: High dose rate (hdr) brachytherapy of larynx using iodine 125 (i-125)

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a radiation therapy intervention or procedure of high dose rate (hdr) brachytherapy of larynx using iodine 125 (i-125). 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 D91B99Z

UNSPSC 85892134 High dose rate (hdr) brachytherapy of larynx using iodine 125 (i-125), a Commodity code, shows a significant mismatch between its nominal scope and recent state and local procurement activity. The code's title refers to a specialized oncology procedure — high dose rate brachytherapy targeting laryngeal cancer using iodine-125 — yet the only recent state and local opportunity posted under it is an RFQ from the County of Santa Clara Health System for temporary health professional staffing services across multiple ancillary clinical categories (audiology, cardiology, diagnostic imaging, gastroenterology, health services assistance, medical social work, ophthalmology, orthopedics, patient transport, respiratory care, sterile processing, surgical and operating room support, and therapy services). The Santa Clara solicitation explicitly excludes nursing, physician, and non-clinical staffing.

The mismatch between code and opportunity suggests either a data-entry error in the county's tagging or minimal actual procurement under the brachytherapy-specific code itself. No additional state and local opportunities appear in the recent record under this UNSPSC. The County of Santa Clara Health System RFQ (RFSQHHSFY270052) established a multi-year qualified vendor pool with no guaranteed contract volume, with proposals due October 7, 2026. Without additional opportunities reflecting the code's true scope — specific brachytherapy equipment, treatment planning systems, source inventory, or clinical staffing dedicated to radiation oncology — the code shows no meaningful recent state and local procurement activity.
