UNSPSC 85892204: Low dose rate (ldr) brachytherapy of salivary glands using iodine 125 (i-125)

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 iodine 125 (i-125). 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 D916B9Z

UNSPSC 85892204 Low dose rate brachytherapy of salivary glands using iodine 125, a Commodity code, shows minimal recent state and local procurement activity aligned with its technical scope. The single recent opportunity posted under this code—County of Santa Clara Health System's temporary health professional staffing solicitation (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026)—does not procure brachytherapy services or salivary gland treatment. Instead, the County is building a qualified vendor pool for ancillary clinical staffing across audiology, cardiology, diagnostic imaging, gastroenterology, orthopedic, respiratory care, surgical services, and therapy roles. The opportunity is explicitly non-exclusive and non-guaranteed, establishing a five-year Qualified List from which the Health System will call vendors as operational needs arise, with scope and terms negotiated case-by-case.

The mismatch between the code's nominal scope—specialized radiation oncology treatment for salivary malignancies—and the actual work being solicited suggests the code sees little relevant recent state and local contracting activity. The sole posted opportunity represents a state health system procuring temporary clinical staffing, not the medical devices, radiation services, or treatment protocols the code nominally describes. Practitioners pursuing work under UNSPSC 85892204 should verify with issuing bodies whether they have genuine brachytherapy-related needs or whether the code is being used inconsistently in state and local procurement systems.
