UNSPSC 85892153: Low dose rate (ldr) brachytherapy of hard palate using iridium 192 (ir-192)

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 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 D918B8Z

UNSPSC 85892153 Low dose rate brachytherapy of hard palate using iridium 192 (Ir-192) is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity under state and local procurement. The most recent opportunity tagged to this code—County of Santa Clara Health System's RFQ for temporary health professional staffing services (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026)—concerns clinical staffing placement across ancillary categories including audiology, cardiology, diagnostic imaging, gastroenterology, ophthalmology, orthopedic services, respiratory care, and surgical services. This staffing solicitation bears no meaningful connection to brachytherapy treatment delivery or radiation oncology practice. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the actual work being solicited suggests either miscoding in the source record or that the code does not currently reflect active state and local procurement demand.

The source contains no other recent opportunities or issuing bodies soliciting under this code, and provides no geographic distribution or representative examples of brachytherapy-related procurement activity. State and local health systems and counties may commission brachytherapy services through other UNSPSC classifications or through direct vendor relationships, but this particular code does not appear to be a current vehicle for capturing such activity in state and local procurement systems.
