UNSPSC 85892171: High dose rate (hdr) brachytherapy of sinuses 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 sinuses 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 D91798Z

UNSPSC 85892171 High dose rate (HDR) brachytherapy of sinuses using iridium 192 (Ir-192) is a Commodity code with no recent state and local procurement activity aligned to its nominal scope. The single recent opportunity posted under this code — County of Santa Clara Health System RFQ RFSQHHSFY270052, posted July 7, 2026, due October 7, 2026 — solicits temporary health professional staffing services across ancillary clinical categories including audiology, cardiology, diagnostic imaging, gastroenterology, ophthalmology, orthopedic, respiratory care, and surgical services. This temporary staffing pool has no direct connection to brachytherapy treatment, specialized oncology equipment, or radiation therapy infrastructure, indicating a classification mismatch between the code's radiation-therapy focus and the actual work being bought.

The mismatch suggests either a data-entry error in the state purchasing system or that this Commodity code sees minimal genuine procurement activity at the state and local level. Business development professionals pursuing radiation oncology services, brachytherapy equipment, medical physics support, or related specialized clinical services should verify that UNSPSC 85892171 is the correct taxonomy match before investing in qualification or proposal development for County of Santa Clara or similar health systems — the single posted opportunity is structurally misaligned with the code's technical scope.
