UNSPSC 85892152: Low dose rate (ldr) brachytherapy of hard palate using iodine 125 (i-125)

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a radiation therapy intervention or procedure of low dose rate (ldr) brachytherapy of hard 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 D918B9Z

UNSPSC 85892152 Low dose rate brachytherapy of hard palate using iodine 125 (I-125) is a Commodity code that shows no relevant recent activity under state and local procurement. The single recent opportunity tagged to this code—Santa Clara County Health System's RFQ for temporary health professional staffing services (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026)—is plainly unrelated to the code's nominal scope of specialized radiation oncology treatment. The solicitation covers ancillary clinical staffing across audiology, cardiology, diagnostic imaging, gastroenterology, orthopedics, respiratory care, surgical services, and therapy specialties, but not brachytherapy or oncology personnel. The mismatch suggests either a data classification error in the source or that this Commodity code does not reflect actual state and local procurement patterns for the service it nominally describes.

Given the absence of opportunities aligned with the code's stated scope, pursuit under this code is not recommended at this time. Brachytherapy services are highly specialized cancer treatment; demand is concentrated in large regional medical centers and academic health systems rather than dispersed across typical state and local procurement channels. Monitor this code for activity in state health department contracts or multi-hospital system RFPs, but expect that relevant opportunities will be rare and likely sourced through specialized healthcare networks rather than broad public solicitation.
