UNSPSC 85892146: High dose rate (hdr) brachytherapy of soft palate 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 soft palate 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 D91999Z

UNSPSC 85892146 High dose rate (HDR) brachytherapy of soft palate using iodine 125 (I-125) is a Commodity code with minimal recent state and local procurement activity. The County of Santa Clara Health System posted a single recent opportunity—a qualification-based RFQ for temporary health professional staffing services across multiple ancillary clinical categories, due October 7, 2026—but this solicitation appears unrelated to the code's nominal scope. The staffing categories listed (Audiology, Cardiology and Vascular, Diagnostic Imaging/Radiology, Gastroenterology, and others) do not align with specialized oncology brachytherapy treatment services. No other recent state or local opportunities under this code appear in the current sourcing window.

The mismatch between the code's stated specialty (HDR brachytherapy) and the actual work being solicited by Santa Clara Health System suggests either a tagging error in the procurement system or that this code sees little direct procurement activity at the state and local level. Health systems may procure brachytherapy services or equipment through different code families, clinical staffing vehicles, or capital-equipment channels rather than under this specific Commodity designation. The single opportunity does not support a characterization of issuing-body concentration, geographic spread, or typical procurement patterns under the code itself. Firms targeting oncology or radiation-therapy service contracts should verify code assignment in individual RFQ documents before pursuing opportunities nominally tagged to this code.
