UNSPSC 85892202: Low dose rate (ldr) brachytherapy of salivary glands using californium 252 (cf-252)

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a radiation therapy intervention or procedure of low dose rate (ldr) brachytherapy of salivary glands 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 D916BCZ

UNSPSC 85892202 Low dose rate (LDR) brachytherapy of salivary glands using californium 252 (Cf-252) is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity under its nominal scope. The single recent state and local opportunity tagged to this code—Santa Clara County Health System's solicitation for temporary health professional staffing services across ancillary clinical categories—is unrelated to the specialized radiation oncology procedure the code nominally describes. The staffing solicitation covers audiology, cardiology, diagnostic imaging, gastroenterology, health services assistance, social work, ophthalmology, orthopedics, patient transport, respiratory care, sterile processing, surgical and operating room services, and therapy services, with no reference to brachytherapy or radiation treatment.

The Santa Clara County Health System issued RFQ RFSQHHSFY270052 as a non-exclusive, multiple-award qualification vehicle with responses due October 7, 2026. Selected vendors are placed on a qualified list with no guaranteed contract volume; the Health System may maintain the list for five years and contract with individual vendors as operational needs arise. Proposers may self-select categories for submission without penalty for single-specialty focus. The mismatch between the code's specialized oncology scope and the actual staffing work being solicited suggests either a categorization error in the source data or that this code sees minimal procurement activity under its intended definition among state and local buyers.
