UNSPSC 85892215: Low dose rate (ldr) brachytherapy of tongue 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 tongue 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 D915BBZ

UNSPSC 85892215 Low dose rate (LDR) brachytherapy of tongue using palladium 103 (Pd-103) is a Commodity code with minimal recent state and local procurement activity. The single recent opportunity posted under this code—Santa Clara County Health System's RFQ for temporary health professional staffing services—bears no substantive relationship to the code's nominal scope of brachytherapy treatment. The Health System is soliciting vendors to staff ancillary clinical roles including audiology, cardiology, diagnostic imaging, gastroenterology, ophthalmology, orthopedic services, respiratory care, sterile processing, and surgical/operating room positions, explicitly excluding nursing and physician staffing. This represents a clear tagging mismatch rather than legitimate procurement activity under the brachytherapy code.

The code shows no relevant recent activity suitable for business development purposes. The single solicitation in the data set—Santa Clara County Health System's RFQ RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026—is a multiple-award vendor qualification vehicle for temporary clinical staffing across 13 ancillary health professional categories, with no guaranteed work volume and a five-year qualified list retention period. State and local procurement activity under the actual brachytherapy code itself has not surfaced in recent windows, signaling either very low volume, long contract cycles, or institutional reliance on standing vendor relationships rather than public solicitation.
