UNSPSC 85892138: Low dose rate (ldr) brachytherapy of soft palate using californium 252 (cf-252)

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a radiation therapy intervention or procedure of low dose rate (ldr) brachytherapy of soft palate 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 D919BCZ

UNSPSC 85892138 Low dose rate brachytherapy of soft palate using californium 252 (cf-252) is a Commodity code with no relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The single opportunity posted under this code — a Santa Clara County Health System RFQ for temporary health professional staffing services (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026) — addresses ancillary clinical staffing including audiology, cardiology, diagnostic imaging, gastroenterology, ophthalmology, orthopedic services, respiratory care, sterile processing, and therapy services, which falls outside the narrowly specialized scope of brachytherapy using californium-252 isotope. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the actual work being solicited suggests either a miscoding error in the state or local procurement system or incidental use of the code as a placeholder.

State and local healthcare systems do not appear to be actively soliciting for low dose rate brachytherapy services under this code currently. Healthcare procurement related to oncology or radiation therapy equipment, isotopes, or treatment protocols may be tagged under different UNSPSC families, or such services may be procured through dedicated medical equipment vendors or cooperative purchasing vehicles rather than open state and local solicitations. Practitioners pursuing healthcare staffing or clinical services opportunities should monitor codes aligned with temporary health professional services; this code does not represent an active procurement channel at present.
