UNSPSC 85892203: Low dose rate (ldr) brachytherapy of salivary glands using palladium 103 (pd-103)

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 palladium 103 (pd-103). 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 D916BBZ

UNSPSC 85892203 Low dose rate brachytherapy of salivary glands using palladium 103 (Commodity) shows no recent state and local procurement activity aligned with its nominal scope. The single opportunity posted under this code — County of Santa Clara Health System's RFQ for temporary health professional staffing services (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026) — solicits general ancillary clinical staffing across audiology, cardiology, diagnostic imaging, gastroenterology, ophthalmology, orthopedic, respiratory care, sterile processing, surgical services, and therapy categories. This staffing pool activity does not correspond to specialized brachytherapy service delivery or the clinical infrastructure required for palladium-103 salivary gland treatment.

The code appears to be a miscoded or unrelated assignment in the County of Santa Clara Health System's vendor pool structure. No other state, county, municipal, or special-district opportunities emerged under this Commodity code in recent procurement activity, and the single posted opportunity does not reflect the highly specialized radiation oncology services the code nominates. Business development activity under this code should remain suspended until state and local health systems or cancer treatment centers issue opportunities explicitly soliciting brachytherapy planning, delivery, dosimetry, or related clinical physics support services.
