UNSPSC 85892213: Low dose rate (ldr) brachytherapy of tongue using other isotope

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a radiation therapy intervention or procedure of low dose rate (ldr) brachytherapy of tongue using other isotope. 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 D915BYZ

UNSPSC 85892213 Low dose rate brachytherapy of tongue using other isotope is a Commodity code showing no relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The County of Santa Clara Health System's July 2026 RFQ for temporary health professional staffing services (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026) was tagged under this code but solicits audiology, cardiology, diagnostic imaging, gastroenterology, ophthalmology, orthopedic, respiratory care, sterile processing, surgical/OR, therapy, and ancillary clinical staffing — none of which align with brachytherapy isotope treatment. The code's nominal scope — specialized cancer radiotherapy using sealed radioactive sources — does not match the work actually being bought under this tag.

The mismatch between code and opportunity content signals either a classification error in the source data or that this code genuinely sees minimal state and local procurement activity. No other recent opportunities appear in the record. State and local health systems typically procure brachytherapy services through clinical oncology contracts or equipment purchases rather than temporary staffing requisitions, but the present source provides no evidence of such activity under this code. Firms pursuing specialized medical physics or radiation oncology services should verify actual procurement tags through direct agency searches rather than relying on this code's taxonomy assignment.
