UNSPSC 85892205: Low dose rate (ldr) brachytherapy of salivary glands using iridium 192 (ir-192)

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 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 D916B8Z

UNSPSC 85892205 Low dose rate brachytherapy of salivary glands using iridium 192 (ir-192) is a Commodity code that shows no relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The one recent opportunity tagged under this code—County of Santa Clara Health System's RFQ for temporary health professional staffing services (response due October 7, 2026)—bears no relation to brachytherapy, radiotherapy, oncology, or salivary gland treatment. That solicitation seeks staffing across ancillary clinical categories including audiology, cardiology, diagnostic imaging, gastroenterology, ophthalmology, orthopedic services, respiratory care, and therapy services, none of which align with the specialized radiation therapy procedure this code nominally describes.

The mismatch between the code's stated scope and the recent opportunity suggests either a data-classification error or that this Commodity code does not reflect current state and local purchasing patterns. Firms evaluating pursuit under UNSPSC 85892205 should verify directly with issuing health systems, cancer centers, or regional oncology programs whether this specialized brachytherapy service is actually being solicited under this code or under a different classification. Without additional evidence of genuine market activity, this code warrants watch status rather than active pursuit.
