UNSPSC 85892156: High dose rate (hdr) brachytherapy of hard palate using californium 252 (cf-252)

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a radiation therapy intervention or procedure of high dose rate (hdr) brachytherapy of hard 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 D9189CZ

UNSPSC 85892156 High dose rate brachytherapy of hard palate using californium 252, a Commodity code, shows a significant mismatch between its nominal scope and actual recent state and local procurement activity. The code's technical specification—radiation oncology treatment using a specific isotope and delivery method—does not align with the solicitation data available, which reflects temporary health professional staffing services across multiple clinical ancillary categories rather than specialized cancer treatment equipment or procedures.

The County of Santa Clara Health System posted RFQ RFSQHHSFY270052 on July 7, 2026, with a response deadline of October 7, 2026, establishing a non-exclusive, multiple-award qualified vendor pool for temporary staffing in Audiology, Cardiology and Vascular, Diagnostic Imaging/Radiology, Gastroenterology, Health Services Assistant, Medical Social Worker, Ophthalmology, Orthopedic, Patient Transporter, Respiratory Care, Sterile Processing, Surgical/Operating Room/Labor and Delivery, and Therapy Services. The Health System explicitly excludes nursing, physician, and non-clinical staffing from the scope, and does not guarantee contract awards or work volume to vendors placed on the Qualified List, which may be maintained for up to five years. The code shows little relevant recent activity aligned with its brachytherapy specification, suggesting either classification error in the source data or minimal current demand for this particular oncology treatment modality through state and local procurement channels.
