UNSPSC 85892206: Low dose rate (ldr) brachytherapy of salivary glands using cesium 137 (cs-137)

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 cesium 137 (cs-137). 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 D916B7Z

UNSPSC 85892206 Low dose rate brachytherapy of salivary glands using cesium 137 (CS-137) is a Commodity code that shows no relevant recent activity in state and local procurement. The single recent opportunity tagged under this code — a Santa Clara County Health System RFQ for temporary health professional staffing services across ancillary clinical specialties (Audiology, Cardiology, Diagnostic Imaging, Gastroenterology, Ophthalmology, Orthopedic, Respiratory Care, Sterile Processing, Surgical/Operating Room, and Therapy Services) — is plainly unrelated to the code's narrow scope of specialized radiotherapy procedures for salivary gland treatment. The code's nominal scope does not align with the actual buying activity in the source material.

The mismatch signals either a classification error in the source record or that this Commodity code does not reflect active state and local purchasing patterns. Firms pursuing brachytherapy services, radiotherapy equipment, or specialized oncology staffing should monitor more general radiotherapy and clinical-staffing codes rather than rely on this specific classification. Without additional opportunities supporting the code's stated scope, pursuing vendors cannot establish a baseline of buying frequency, geographic concentration, or customer-agency patterns under UNSPSC 85892206.
