UNSPSC 85892147: High dose rate (hdr) brachytherapy of soft palate 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 soft palate 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 D91998Z

UNSPSC 85892147 High dose rate brachytherapy of soft palate using iridium 192, a Commodity code, shows minimal alignment with recent state and local procurement activity. The code's nominal scope—a highly specialized oncology procedure—does not match the work currently being solicited under this code classification in the state and local market.

The Santa Clara County Health System posted the only recent opportunity tagged to this code (RFQ RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026), but the solicitation concerns temporary health professional staffing services across thirteen ancillary clinical categories including audiology, diagnostic imaging, orthopedics, respiratory care, and surgical services. This staffing procurement bears no relationship to brachytherapy treatment delivery or radiotherapy. The mismatch suggests either a tagging error in the county's procurement system or that the code is not actively used for its intended purpose in state and local purchasing. State and local buyers appear not to be procuring brachytherapy services or related radiotherapy supplies under this code at present.
